An application has been submitted to the Varanasi district court, urging the defendants, which include the U.P. state and the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee (AIMC) responsible for managing the Gyanvapi Mosque, among others, to eliminate the shoe stands positioned within the Gyanvapi complex.
Kiran Singh, representing the plaintiffs of Bhagwan Adi Vishweshwar Virajman and others versus U.P. state and others, filed the plea through her legal representatives, Man Bahadur Singh and Anupam Dwivedi. Dwivedi mentioned, “The court has scheduled March 19 for the hearing.” AIMC’s Joint Secretary, S.M. Yasin, stated that their legal team would lodge an objection against the application. On Friday, AIMC members installed six shoe stands in the barricaded area surrounding the Gyanvapi mosque, placing them outside the mosque premises.“
