Why did the court reject the plea for additional survey of Gyanvapi mosque
The court rejected the plea for an additional survey of Gyanvapi mosque due to the following reasons:
- The Gyanvapi mosque is a religious place where offering prayers and performing rituals are the primary activities, so conducting a survey can disrupt the sanctity of the place.
- Previous surveys and studies have already been conducted on the structure, and there was no substantial evidence to warrant an additional survey.
- The court found that the original survey conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India was sufficient to address the concerns raised in the plea.
- The court emphasized the need to ensure minimal interference with the religious sentiments of the community and avoid unnecessary disruptions to the place of worship.
