Coming up next are 10 real factors from this issue at the forefront of everybody's thoughts
• This is a big step for five women who want permission for annual worship and rituals in a part of the mosque complex. They claim that there are idols of Hindu gods and goddesses in the premises.
• The Muslim petitioners, mainly the mosque administrators, want the petition to be dismissed and said that they are ready to fight up to the Supreme Court.
• His challenge was rejected in all the three cases cited by him. The most important of these is the 1991 law which barred the status of a place of worship that existed on August 15, 1947. The petitioners do not want ownership, only the right to worship, the court said.
• Earlier this year, the trial court ordered the filming of the centuries-old mosque based on a petition by women.
• Videography reports that were controversially leaked by Hindu petitioners claimed that a "Shivalinga" or relic of Lord Shiva was found in a pond within the mosque premises that was used for "Wazhu" or purification rituals before Muslim prayers. was done.
• Then a court sealed the pond and banned large prayer meetings in the high-profile mosque. The social affair ought to be restricted to 20 individuals, the court said.
• Filming inside the mosque was challenged in the Supreme Court by the Gyanvapi Masjid Committee, which said the move violated the 1991 Act (Places of Worship Act).
• That's what the Muslim solicitors contended "such petitions and fixing of mosques would prompt public underhandedness and mutual disharmony, influencing mosques the nation over".
• In May, the Supreme Court referred the case to the city's senior-most judge, citing the "complexity and sensitivity" of the dispute, saying it required experienced handling.
• The Gyanvapi Masjid, located in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency (Varanasi), is one of the many mosques that Hindu fundamentalists believe was built on the ruins of temples. It was one of three lines of temple-mosque, apart from Ayodhya and Mathura, that the BJP had erected in the 1980s and 90s, gaining national prominence.
