Allahabad High Court Upholds Hindu Prayers in Gyanvapi Mosque Cellar, Dismisses Muslim Side's Plea

In a significant development, the Allahabad High Court has dismissed the petitions filed by the Muslim side in the Gyanvapi Mosque dispute, allowing Hindu prayers to continue in the Gyanvapi Cellar. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the longstanding legal battle over the site's ownership and religious rights.

Previously, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the Varanasi court's decision, alleging a violation of the Places of Worship Act. He argued that the ruling, issued by a judge on his last day before retirement, allowed Hindu prayers despite no offerings being made since 1993.

The court's decision has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it violates the Places of Worship Act, while others maintain that it upholds the rights of Hindus to worship at the site. The legal battle is expected to continue, with the possibility of further appeals.
