Gyanvapi Mosque Case: Supreme Court Rejects Plea Seeking Right To Worship ‘Shivling’, Carbon Dating And GPR
The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain a fresh plea seeking permission to worship the ‘Shivling’ which is stated to be found in the Gyanvapi mosque premises in Varanasi during a court-ordered survey.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice D Y Chandrachud also rejected the plea, filed by a group of seven Hindu women, seeking ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey and carbon dating of the ‘Shivling’ purportedly discovered in the mosque’s ablution area and permission to worship the deity.
