The Allahabad High Court on Friday refused to give any relief to the Muslim side, which had petitioned against the Varanasi court order allowing Hindus to perform puja inside Gyanvapi mosque cellar.
A single bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal ordered the Advocate General to maintain law and order within and outside the Gyanvapi mosque premises. The next hearing of the case will be on February 6.
The mosque committee had earlier approached the Supreme Court, contesting a district judge’s order allowing puja in the mosque’s southern cellar, but was directed to the Allahabad High Court.
