Allahabad HC Refused Interim Stay On ‘Puja’ Inside ‘Vyas Tehkhana’: Asks State To Maintain Law And Order Situation
Allahabad/Hyderabad, Feb 2 (Maxim News): The Allahabad High Court today refused to allow the Gyanvapi Mosque committee’s plea seeking an interim stay on Puja being performed in the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi Mosque (known as Vyas Tehkhana). However, the court has directed the state government to maintain law and order in the area. Puja inside the Tehkhana began on 31st January, shortly after the Varanasi district Judge passed an order directing the District magistrate to facilitate Puja inside the area by making arrangements. The DM complied with the order on the same day.

On Thursday, an appeal was moved by the Anjuman Intezamia masjid Committee (which manages Gyanvapi mosque) challenging the order of the Varanasi District Court allowing Hindus to perform prayers in the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi mosque (Vyas Ji ka Tehkahana). The committee also sought a stay on the worship rituals. While hearing the matter today, a Bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal refused to grant any interim relief to the Mosque Committee as it stressed that it had not challenged the Varanasi District Judge’s January 17 order, wherein the District Magistrate was appointed as a receiver.
The court has granted it time till February 6 to amend its appeal till then, the Court directed the Advocate General to maintain law and order situation in the area. This development comes two days after the Supreme Court refused to urgently hear the Mosque Committee’s plea against the order allowing puja in vyas Ji ka Tehkahana, located at the southern cellar of the Mosque. It may be noted that the Varanasi District Judge on January 31 directed the District Administration to make appropriate arrangements within 7 days for Hindus to conduct worshipping rituals inside one of the sealed cellars/basement/tahkhana (vyas ji ka tehkhana) inside the existing Gyanvapi mosque complex. Worship at this spot was stopped in the year of 1993. (Maxim News)
