Supreme Court to resume Gyanvapi mosque case hearing
New Delhi, May 20: The Supreme Court will resume the hearing in the Gyanvapi Mosque case on Friday at 3pm.
"The Supreme Court will hear the Gyanvapi case at 3 pm today. I have heard that the survey report submitted in the court was leaked. I can't say how this happened," the Assistant Court Commissioner, Ajay Pratap Singh said on Gyanvapi Mosque survey.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Vishnu Shankar Jain stated, "Advocate Hari Shankar Jain is unwell and will recover by tomorrow. The trial court will move forward after the hearing in the Supreme Court."
"Two proceedings can't go on simultaneously. I had given an undertaking that since Hari Shankar Jain is unwell and will recover by tomorrow, the matter may be adjourned till tomorrow. Let Supreme Court decide and we will proceed accordingly," he added.

Meanwhile, in the wake of the Gyanvapi controversy, the Anjuman Intaza Mian Masajid Committee has appealed for the least number of people to attend the Friday prayers today.
In a letter issued by the Anjuman Committee, it is stated that because there is a barricade for the wazu khana where Shivling is claimed to have been found, a large number of people will not be able to perform namaz.
People will gather for namaz at the Gyanmvapi Mosque at 1.30 pm.
On May 17, the court ordered the Varanasi district magistrate to ensure the protection of the area within the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex where a 'Shivling' is said to have been found during a survey, allowing Muslims to offer 'namaz' and other "religious observances."
