The decades-old Gyanvapi Mosque-Kashi Vishwanath dispute has sprung back in the news once again. While there are several chapters to this long-drawn dispute, which goes back as far as 1991, let's look at the recent developments first. On Monday, 16 May, a Varanasi court directed for a spot within the mosque complex to be sealed after a court-appointed advocate commissioner, Ajay Kumar Mishra, made a sensational claim that a shivlinga was found in a pond during a videography survey. This video assessment was ordered by the Varanasi civil court after a group of five women petitioners had sought a round-the-year access to pray at “a shrine behind the western wall of the mosque complex”. But the Committee of Management of Anjuman Intezamia Masjid has been contending this order arguing that the court's directions are contrary to the provisions of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 which specifically states that except for Ram Janmabhoomi–Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, the nature of all places of worship shall be maintained as it was on August 15, 1947. As the matter came up before Supreme Court bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud on 17 May, the apex court order passed an interim order directing the District Magistrate to protect the area where the shivling was allegedly found but to not stop namaz. But as the Gyanvapi Mosque-Kashi Viswanath issue flares up once again, the crucial legal questions around this dispute now are: Firstly, can the Varanasi court order sealing of a spot within the mosque before the video assessment report was filed? Secondly, does such a videography survey go against the Places of Worship Act? The Quint's Legal Editor Vakasha Sachdev will be analysing these questions for us. And in this episode we'll also look at the timeline of the Gyanvapi Mosque-Kashi Viswanath dispute and where the matter stands so far.

On Saturday, the Supreme Court had ruled that the entire Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid site will be transferred to a trust constituted by the Centre for the construction of a Ram temple.

The case over contested religious history which languished in the legal system for almost seven decades, has finally seen closure, as a five-judge Constitution Bench headed by the Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi pronounced its verdict. In a unanimous judgment, the Bench has allotted the land to the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas for construction of a temple. The court also ordered that the Sunni Waqf Board be provided five acres of land at a prominent place in Ayodhya for construction of a mosque. The court also ordered the Central government to formulate a scheme within three months to implement this order. For at least four centuries, the site was worshiped by both the communities- Hindus and Muslims. However, in 1822, an official of the Faizabad court first claimed that the mosques stood on the site of a temple. On December 6, 1992, Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was demolished, changing India's political fabric forever. After almost 27 years, the Supreme Court has delivered its verdict on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute today. According to the reports of the Archeological Survey of India (ASI), the Babri Masjid, which was built in the early 16th century, was not constructed on vacant land. The conclusion was drawn on the basis of archaelogical evidence of a 12th century non-islamic structure being present on the disputed structure. The Chief Justice of India said that the rights of Ram Lalla to the disputed property is subject to the maintenance of peace and law and order and tranquility.  However, the Supreme Court has asked the government to take measures for maintaining peace and harmony and law and order. With this judgement, the Supreme Court has given the message of unity in diversity, said the lawyer representing the Hindu Mahasabha... To know more, listen to the podcast 

The Supreme Court’s verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute is expected to be delivered soon.

Quick recap The Babri Masjid was built in the early 16th century. For at least four centuries, the site was worshiped by both the communities- Hindus and Muslims. However, in 1822, an official of the Faizabad court first claimed that the mosques stood on the site of a temple.  As a result, the Nirmohi Akhara sect cited this statement in laying claim to the site later in the 19th century, leading to the first recorded incidents of religious violence at the site in 1855. In 1859, the British colonial administration set up a railing to separate the outer courtyard of the mosque to avoid disputes. The status quo remained in place until 1949, when idols of Rama appeared inside the mosque, allegedly placed there by the volunteers of the Hindu Mahasabha. This instigated an uproar, with both parties filing civil suits laying claim to the land. The placement of the idols was seen as a desecration by the Muslim community. The site was declared to be in dispute, and the gates to the Masjid were locked. On December 23, 1949, Gopal Singh Visharad, a devotee of ‘Ram Lalla’, filed a case in Faizabad court, claiming the ownership of the disputed land and to seek enforcement of the right to worship of Hindus at the disputed site. Following this, the government locked the site. In the same year, Paramahansa Ramachandra Das had also filed the lawsuit for continuation of worship and keeping the idols under the central dome of the Babri Masjid. The plea was later withdrawn.  To know more, listen to the podcast...

The Supreme Court on Monday declined early hearing of petitions in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute case. A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S K Kaul said it had already listed the appeals before the appropriate bench in January. ""We have already passed the order. The appeals are coming up in January. Permission declined,"" the bench said while rejecting the request of early hearing of lawyer Barun Kumar Sinha, appearing for the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha. The top court had earlier fixed the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case for the first week of January before an ""appropriate bench"", which will decide the schedule of hearing.
