Varanasi court to hear plea against worship in Gyanvapi mosque cellar on Feb 15

A Varanasi court on Thursday fixed February 15 as the date for hearing the Anjuman Intezamia committee's plea against the recently allowed 'puja' in the cellar of the Gyanvapi mosque, the Hindu side counsel said.

Advocate M M Yadav said he told District Judge Anil Kumar that since the Allahabad High Court was scheduled to hear the matter on February 12, there was no point in the district court hearing it now.

The court then posted the matter for February 15.
