The court also ordered ASI officials involved in the survey, besides the plaintiffs, defendants and their advocates, district government counsel (civil), and other officials not to share any information about the survey with print, electronic and social media.
The Court passed the order on an application filed by Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee (AIMC) on August 8 seeking an order to stop the media from “publishing, disseminating false and wrong news about the survey” being conducted by the ASI in Gayanvapi premises on court directives.
The court ordered, “If the print media, social media or electronic media wrongly publishes any news regarding the survey without formal information, despite no information being provided by the ASI, plaintiffs, and the defendant’s side, then necessary action may be taken against them as per the law.”

The court also added that any information about the survey should not be publicized in order that the report to be presented before the court only.
AIMC Joint Secretary S.M. Yasin welcomed the order. “We welcome the order passed by the Hon’ble district judge after hearing our application,” Yasin said in a statement. The AIMC filed the application on Tuesday (August 8) through its counsel Mumtaz Ahmad, Akhlaque Ahmad, and Rais Ansari.
Mumtaz Ahmad said the ASI survey was being done on court orders and no ASI official had given any statement regarding the survey proceedings. But social, print, and electronic media were publishing and disseminating false and wrong news in an arbitrary manner about portions (of the Gyanvapi mosque) where the survey had not been conducted yet, he added.
