SC upholds Allahabad HC’s approval for ASI survey of Gyanvapi

The Supreme Court refused to stay the Allahabad High Court’s recent order allowing the ASI to survey the premises of Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, except for ‘wuzu khana’. The bench recorded the undertaking given by the Archaeological Survey of India that it will not make any excavation at the site during the survey. It further directed that ASI will complete the survey process using non-invasive methodology without causing any damage to the existing structure.
