Lucknow: The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, the management committee of Gyanvapi Masjid in Varanasi, has filed an urgent petition before the Allahabad High Court seeking a stay of the April 8 verdict pronounced by a local court in Varanasi allowing Archaeological Surveys of the entire campus to be conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India.

In its petition filed on Monday, the Management Committee said that the order has been passed illegally without any rule. Meanwhile, an appeal will also be filed by the Sunni Waqf Board against the Varanasi court's verdict. The petition said that the Allahabad High Court has already reserved its verdict on the case and it is wrong to order an inquiry by ASI till the high court decides.

Anjuman Intezamia's lawyer Farman Ahmed Naqvi has said, "We have filed a petition requesting the court to hear it with immediate effect as the matter is serious. The Sunni Waqf Board is all set to file an appeal against the Varanasi court order on Tuesday (April 13, 2021).'' Zufar Farooqi said, ''We support Anjuman Intezamia. head of the UP Sunni Central Wakf Board. The Sunni board will also move to the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday against the Varanasi civil court order.''
