In a significant legal ruling, the Supreme Court of India today upheld the HC ruling allowing scientific survey of disputed site at Gyanvapi in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Gyanvapi is situated adjacent to the revered Kashi Vishwanath Temple and has been a subject of contention between different religious communities. The mosque's structure is said to have been built in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb on the site of an ancient Hindu temple. It is believed that the current structure is built on a pre-existing Hindu structure. A three-judge bench, headed by the Chief Justice of India, delivered the verdict in a packed courtroom. The court ordered that ASI can perform scientific investigation through non-invasive methodology without excavation. The ASI's involvement aims to bring a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of the historical layers of the site. It is expected that the archaeological survey will play a crucial role in shedding light on the site's past,
