VARANASI: The lawyers for both parties in the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri case said on Saturday they won’t be able to file objections on May 31 as they haven’t received the photos and video footage of the court-commissioned videography survey of the Gyanvapi mosque premises.
Abhay Nath Yadav, the advocate for the Gyanvapi mosque management committee, Anjuman Intejamia Masajid (AIM), and the petitioners’ advocate, Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi, said it had become necessary for them to seek an extension of the date for filing objections regarding the survey, and the objections could only be prepared by going through the visual facts, they said.
Yadav said arguments by his team of AIM advocates on the maintainability of the case would continue on Monday.
The advocates said the district judge’s court staff, citing technical reasons, had expressed their inability to release the CDs of the photos and video footage on Friday. “As the court is closed on Saturday and Sunday, the process of receiving the CDs … will be restarted on Monday. More time will also be sought from the court to file objections,” Chaturvedi said.
Also, an AIM advocate, Rayees Ahmed Ansari, had moved an application on Friday in the district judge’s court requesting that the CDs be released to the advocates of both parties with instructions that they not be made public by anyone.
Earlier, copies of the court-mandated Gyanvapi survey footage and photographs couldn’t be given to the litigants on May 25 as the number of applicants had increased manifold.
The court-mandated survey had taken place between May 6 and 16.
