Wednesday requested the court here to allow the ASI to excavate the premises
for survey, a lawyer said.

hearing on the plea seeking ASI survey of the remaining parts of the Gyanvapi
premises, the lawyer said.
You know that Representatives of the Muslim side were
present in the court and are expected to put forth their views on the matter
during the next hearing.
Advocate Madan Mohan Yadav, representing the Hindu side
in the case, said Civil Judge Senior Division Fast Track Court Jugal Shambhu
fixed the new date after hearing the Hindu side.
"The Hindu side has completed its arguments in the
case. We have also requested the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) to allow
digging in the premises for survey," Yadav said. Yadav said that the Hindu
side has argued that the original place of the Jyotirlinga is in the middle
under the dome of the alleged mosque located in the Gyanvapi complex.
Geographical water used to flow continuously from
'Argha' which collected in the Gyanvapi Kund. and It was believed that drinking
this water gives knowledge. Therefore, this pilgrimage is also considered as
'Gyanodaya Tirtha'.
In the last hearing, the lawyers of the Hindu side have
demanded that this water be explored by water engineers, geologists and
archaeologists.
Also, the 'Shivling' found from Gyanodaya Tirtha, which the Muslim side is calling 'Wuzukhana', should also be investigated whether it is 'Shivling' or a fountain, Yadav said.
