Supreme Court refuses to interfere in Gyanvapi survey case Supreme Court has said that Varanasi should dispose of the civil case .

Hindu Sena president Vishnu Gupta has moved the Supreme Court seeking a direction to dismiss the petition filed by the Anjuman Intejamiya Masjid Management Committee challenging the survey given by a Varanasi court on the Gyanvapi Masjid-Kashi Vishwanath temple complex.
An intervention application has been filed in a special leave petition filed by the Masjid Committee challenging the recent order of the Allahabad High Court, which has directed the survey work to continue while refusing to interfere with the Varanasi Court’s order.
The present applicant has contended that the Gyanvapi Masjid complex has been exempted from the Place of Worship Act, 1991. It is submitted that the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Shringar Gauri Temple within the Gyanvapi Masjid complex are covered under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 (Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958) and hence section 4(3). (1) As per the Exemption from the Places of Worship Act, 1991. It was submitted in the petition that the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had destroyed the Vishwanath temple at the disputed site and built the Gyanvapi mosque in its place. The applicant has argued that the remains of an earlier temple can be seen in the foundation, pillars and the rear part of the mosque.
