Supreme Court to hear challenge to survey Gyanvapi mosque on Tuesday
The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear a plea against the Allahabad High Court order which dismissed a petition challenging a Varanasi court’s order to appoint an advocate as a court commissioner to inspect the Gyanvapi mosque complex.
A bench comprising Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and P.S. Narasimha will hear the plea filed by Committee of Management Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Varanasi.
On May 13, the apex court had declined to immediately stop the survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, and agreed to list the matter.
Senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, representing the petitioner, mentioned a plea before the top court filed by the Committee seeking a stay on survey of complex.
The plea challenged the validity of Allahabad High Court’s April 21 order, which dismissed the plea against the civil court’s order for the survey.
Ahmadi mentioned the plea before a bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana.
The bench said: “We don’t know anything about the matter… We have no details. How can we pass the order?”
Ahmadi said “please grant status quo”, and added that the mosque has been covered under Places of Worship Act.
The bench said: “Let me look at the papers, let me see…”
A Varanasi court on a suit filed jointly by five Hindu women, last month ordered an inspection of the premises through advocate commissioner Ajai Kumar Mishra.
The Allahabad High Court affirmed the civil court order.
The petitioners urged the court for year-long access to pray at a shrine behind the western wall of the mosque complex.
The women petitioners also want permission to pray to other “visible and invisible deities within the old temple complex”.
On May 12, a Varanasi court ordered resumption of the video survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex, including the basement and closed rooms.
The Muslim parties had objected to the survey. The court said the survey report should be submitted on May 17.
The Varanasi court also declined to entertain the demand of Muslim parties to remove advocate commissioner Ajai Kumar Mishra, instead appointed two additional commissioners — lawyers Vishal Singh and Ajay Pratap Singh — to assist him.

Woman, lover conspire to kill husband for Rs 40,000 in Patna : three held

Patna : Police have solved the murder of Irfan Imam, alias Kallu Driver, in Simri village within 36 hours, uncovering an alleged conspiracy involving his wife and her lover. In a shocking revelation, police said the deceased’s wife, Neha Parveen, alias Fauzia Firdaus, allegedly conspired with her lover to eliminate her husband. She paid Rs 40,000 to arrange a contract killer. More surprisingly, the money was withdrawn from her husband’s own bank account.
Police have arrested the deceased’s wife, her alleged lover Karan Chaudhary and a minor in connection with the murder. However, the shooter who allegedly carried out the killing is still absconding. Danapur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Amarendra Kumar Jha said that a special investigation team was constituted under the leadership of Bihta Station House Officer (SHO) Amit Kumar following the murder. The team launched an investigation based on technical inputs and other evidence. During the investigation, the police took Neha Parveen into custody for questioning. Her questioning provided crucial leads, following which Karan Chaudhary, son of Pramod Chaudhary and a resident of Simri village, and a minor, were arrested. According to the police, Neha and Karan had allegedly been in a relationship for the past three years, and Irfan was an obstacle to their relationship. The two allegedly hatched a conspiracy to eliminate him.
As part of the plan, Karan allegedly hired a shooter for Rs 40,000, with the money provided by Neha. Police said she withdrew the amount from her husband’s bank account to finance the murder. An advance payment of Rs 20,000 was allegedly given to the shooter, while the remaining amount was to be paid after the murder. DSP Jha said the conspiracy came to light during the questioning of the accused, particularly Karan. Police have also recovered the motorcycle allegedly used in the crime. However, the main shooter remains absconding, and the weapon used in the murder has not yet been recovered. Police teams are conducting raids at suspected hideouts to arrest the absconding accused and recover the weapon. Police expressed confidence that the shooter would be arrested soon. The case was cracked within 36 hours of the murder, bringing relief to the investigating team.
