The Gyanvapi case hearing is underway in the Supreme Court by CJI Chandrachud
The Supreme Court on Friday told the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) to not conduct carbon dating of a 'Shivling' inside the Gyanvapi mosque-Kashi Vishwanath corridor, till the next hearing on the matter.
The 'Shivling' is a disputed structure that was found at the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi during a videographic survey in 2022. The court deferred the implications of an earlier order by the Allahabad High Court, that had permitted carbon dating on the structure.
The order was passed by a Supreme Court bench consisting of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha. The court also sought responses from the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments over a plea filed by the Muslim side against the Allahabad HC order.
