Gyanvapi case: Big blow in Gyanvapi case, petition banning entry of non-Hindus rejected

In this public interest litigation, it was demanded that until the decision of the Varanasi district court in the Shringar Gauri case, the entry of non-Hindus on the campus should be banned and the Hindu symbols found in the Gyanvapi campus should be preserved.

It was said in the PIL that the centuries-old remains of Shri Adi Vishweshwar Temple (the present Gyanvapi campus) in Varanasi have to be saved. It was claimed that there used to be a grand temple at the disputed site (Settlement Plot No. 9130 Ward and Dashashwamedh Varanasi), where Lord Shiva himself established the Jyotirlinga.

Aurangzeb destroyed the temple in 1669
In 1669, the Muslim ruler Aurangzeb destroyed this temple. It is said that after the destruction of the said temple, the Muslims unauthorizedly encroached on the temple premises and built a structure, which is the so-called Gyanvapi Masjid.
