Gyanvapi: Hindu Plea to Replace Wuzukhana Seal Cloth Rejected

• Varanasi District Court rejected a petition by the Hindu side in the Gyanvapi case.
• The petition sought to replace the cloth covering the sealed wazukhana (ablution pond) in the Gyanvapi mosque.
• The court cited ongoing Supreme Court proceedings regarding the Places of Worship Act, 1991, as the reason for its decision.
• The wazukhana area was sealed in May 2022 following a court-ordered survey.
