Meanwhile, Vishnu Shankar Jain who appeared for the Hindu side in the apex court said, “The Supreme Court ordered a stay on execution Varanasi court’s order regarding survey of the Mosque complex in order to allow the Anjum to challenge the same before the High Court… We will oppose this as our legal team is reaching High Court.”

“The truth of Gyanvapi will only come out after the survey of ASI. The High Court will decide the matter unaffected by any observations of the Supreme Court, Allahabad HC will decide the matter on its own merit,” said the lawyer.
