A district court here reserved its order for Tuesday on which petition is to be heard first in the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex case transferred to it by the Supreme Court.

The court of District Judge A Vishvesh heard arguments from both the Hindu and Muslim sides. A fresh plea seeking permission to worship the “Shivling” claimed to have been found on the Gyanvapi mosque premises during a videography survey ordered by a lower court was also filed.

“After hearing arguments of both sides, the court will on Tuesday give its verdict on which petition is to be heard first,” said Madan Mohan Yadav, a lawyer for the Hindu side. It was argued that since a court-appointed panel has completed its work, opponents should present their objections.

Yadav said they pleaded to make available the commission’s report and videography done by it to present its side on it. Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee’s lawyer Mohammad Tauhid Khan argued that the writ is not sustainable, hence, it should be dismissed.

A fresh petition was also moved on Monday by Dr Kulpati Tiwari, Mahant of Kashi Vishwanath temple, for regular “pujan” (worship) of the Shivling , which he said was found in the Gyanvapi mosque complex.

The Hindu side claimed that the Shivling was found close to the wazookhana -- a small reservoir used by Muslim devotees to perform ritual ablutions before offering the namaz.
