 The Allahabad High Court grants the claim to restore the Gyanvapi temple

The 1991 lawsuit brought before the Varanasi court was deemed maintainable by Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal and was not prohibited under the 1991 Places of Religious Worship Act.

The reinstatement of a temple at the location of the Gyanvapi Mosque is the subject of a civil complaint that is now pending before a Varanasi court. On Tuesday, the Allahabad High Court rejected all five petitions contesting the maintainability of the litigation.

The Varanasi court filed a complaint in 1991, and Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal declared that the lawsuit may be maintained and was not prohibited by the 1991 Places of Religious Worship Act.

The court ordered a decision on the lower court's case to be made within six months.

The management of the Gyanvapi Masjid, which is next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, is overseen by the Anjuman Interjamiya Masjid Committee. The committee has contested the maintainability of a lawsuit that was filed in a Varanasi court, wherein the plaintiff on the Hindu side is requesting the restoration of the temple.

The Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee as well the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board argued that the suit is barred by the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act. of 1991, which forbids changing any religious structure from its nature as it was on August 15, 1947, despite the Hindu plaintiffs' contention that the Gyanvapi Masjid is a part of the temple.
