Gyanvapi Mosque Controversy?

What is

Gyanvapi Mosque Case

The 1991 title suit over the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi sparks a legal battle

1991 Title Suit

Filed on behalf of Lord Vishweshwar, this suit seeks to establish the property rights of Hindus over the mosque and adjacent structures

Places of Worship Act

Places of Worship Act, 1991, aims to maintain the religious character of places of worship as of August 15, 1947

Legal Proceedings

The case went through revisions, with the trial court initially ruling in favour of the Muslim side but later overturned by the revisional court

SC’s Intervention

A 2018 Supreme Court judgment on stay orders paved the way for reviving the case

Claims & Counterclaims

The suit seeks property rights for Lord Vishweshwar, while the Muslim side argues that the mosque's religious character cannot change

Varanasi Civil Judge's Role

The case will now be heard by the Varanasi Civil Judge's court, with a directive to conclude proceedings within six months

Historical Significance

Gyanvapi's history dates back to ancient times, with mentions of its demolition during Muslim rule

Places of Worship Act, 1991

Section 3 of the Act prohibits converting places of worship into different religious denominations
