Gyanvapi Mosque case: ASI to provide survey reports to both the sides

The Varanasi district Court on Wednesday asked that the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) report be made public today and the hard copy be provided to both sides in relation to the Gyanvapi Mosque case. Earlier on January 16, the Supreme Court allowed an application of Hindu women petitioners seeking direction for cleaning the entire area of `Wazukhana` of Gyanvapi mosque where the alleged `Shivling` was found and maintaining hygienic condition. A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said the area of `Wazukhana` shall be cleaned under the supervision of district administration Varanasi, having regard to the previous orders of the apex court.
