UP: Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauricase hearing to start in district court of Varanasi today

In Uttar Pradesh, the hearing in the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri case will start today in the district court of Varanasi.

This will be first hearing after the court ruled on September 12, that a plea by five Hindu women to pray year-long at a shrine inside the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, next to the famous Kashi Viswanath temple, is legally valid.

The Muslim petitioners have now filed an application seeking 8 weeks to prepare for the case before it is heard further.
