A Varanasi court has dismissed a petition from the Hindu community seeking to prohibit Muslims from performing 'namaz' on the roof of the Vyas basement at the Gyanvapi mosque complex, citing structural concerns. The court, led by Civil Judge Senior Division Hitesh Agarwal, also rejected a request for repairs to the basement, asserting that ongoing worship activities would continue as before. The Hindu petitioners argued that the old structure is in a fragile state prone to damage, while the Muslim side contended the roof is sound and has safely supported prayers for years. Despite the ruling, the Hindu side plans to appeal for permission to carry out repairs, emphasizing safety concerns over the roof's integrity. The case reflects ongoing tensions around the historical and religious significance of the site, with both sides preparing for further legal challenges. The court's decision follows a similar ruling in January allowing Hindus to resume rituals in the basement after decades of restrictions.
