The Varanasi district court on Thursday accepted an application of the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid (AIM) management committee that sought time to prepare for the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex case.
A petition was filed before the Court by Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee on Thursday, seeking at least 15-day time in wake of Advocate Abhay Nath Yadav’s demise and the fact that all files are locked inside his chamber.
“Considering their plea, the court fixed August 18 as the next date of hearing,” said district government counsel (civil) Mahendra Prasad Pandey.
The Supreme Court last month adjourned the appeal filed by the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee to October first week, saying it will wait for the decision of the Varanasi court on the Committee’s plea questioning the maintainability of the suit filed by Hindu women.
