New Delhi. The Supreme Court has transferred the Gyanvapi Masjid case to the Varanasi District Court. The court said that the matter of maintainability of Gyanvapi should be heard on priority and in this, the District Judge is competent, and is very experienced. The top court said that the decision in this matter will be taken by the district court only. During the hearing of the case, the Muslim side also referred to the Places of Worship Act of 1991 and said that it was wrong to order the survey of Gyanvapi under it. On this, the Supreme Court referred to Section 3 of the same law and said that there was no flaw in the order of the survey.

Justice Chandrachud said – it is also our job to decide the character of the religious place
Justice DY Chandrachud, a senior member of the bench, said that it is also less for us to decide the character of the religious place. Referring to the 1991 Act, the Supreme Court said, forget that Varanasi has a mosque on one side and a temple on the other. Suppose there is a Parsi temple and a cross is found at one of its corners. Then will it be called Cross Agyari or will it be called Agyari Christian? We are not unaware of this hybrid character. Thus a Parsi place of worship cannot be a Christian place and a Christian place cannot be considered a Zoroastrian temple if such a mix is ​​found. If any place has such a hybrid character, then it can be investigated for its determination.

Will the Places of Worship Act of 1991 no longer apply?
It is clear from this observation of the Supreme Court that the Places of Worship Act of 1991 does not put an impediment in this matter. Experts believe that the court’s remarks have made it clear that the hearing on Gyanvapi’s case will now continue. The Supreme Court has made it clear that the lower court will decide on this entire matter. The Supreme Court also did not consider the appointment of the Court Commissioner wrong during the hearing. The court said that the commission can be constituted and can give its report. Along with this, the court also upheld the order to make alternative arrangements for Wuzu for Muslims, to continue the sealing of the place where the Shivling was found. The top court said that this order will continue for the next 8 weeks i.e. till July 17.

The Supreme Court has also admitted that the problem is complex, our job is to maintain peace.
The Supreme Court said that these are complex social problems. In this, no solution made by man can be accurate. Our order was that peace should be maintained. This work can be done by an interim order. We are on a joint mission for the unity of the country. Apart from this, on the question of leaking the report, the Supreme Court said that once the report comes here, then it cannot be leaked selectively. Along with this, the bench directed that the report should not be leaked. Only the judge can open it.
