Varanasi: Citing the Supreme Court order to protect the spot where a purported 'shivling' had been found in the ablution pond of the Gyanvapi compound during the survey of the court commissioner, the Varanasi district judge on Friday rejected the plea of four Hindu women plaintiffs seeking carbon dating and scientific investigation of the structure.
After district and sessions judge Ajay Krishna Vishvesha pronounced his order, the plaintiffs' lawyer, Vishnu Jain, said that he would challenge it in the Supreme Court as the Varanasi court had cited the apex court while rejecting the plea.
The district judge's order said: "Plaintiffs 2 to 5 have requested to allow carbon dating or other scientific investigation by using ground penetrating radar of the 'shivling' found during the court commission survey on May 16 to determine its nature, shape and age. In its May 17 order, the SC had ordered to keep it protected. If carbon dating or ground-penetrating radar is permitted and it damages the 'shivling', it would be a violation of the May 17, 2022 order of the apex court. If it happens, it can also hurt people's religious sentiments."
