The court of Varanasi district judge has ordered that if the print media, social media or electronic media wrongly publishes any news regarding the ongoing ASI survey in the Gyanvapi mosque complex without formal information and despite no information being given by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), who is the plaintiff and the defendant in the case, then action may be taken against them as per the law. The court also ordered ASI officials involved in the survey, besides the plaintiffs, defendants, and their advocates, district government counsel (civil) and other officials, on Thursday, August 10, not to share any information about the survey with the print, electronic and social media. The court passed the order on an application filed by Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee (AIMC) on August 8 seeking an order to stop the media from "publishing, disseminating false and wrong news about the survey" being conducted by the ASI in Gyanvapi mosque premises on court directives. The court ordered that any information about the survey should not be publicised in order that the report be presented before the court only. AIMC Joint Secretary SM Yasin welcomed the order and said, "We welcome the order passed by the honourable district judge after hearing our application," Yasin said in a statement. The AIMC filed the application on Tuesday (August 8) through its counsel Mumtaz Ahmad, Akhlaque Ahmad and Rais Ansari. Mumtaz Ahmad said the ASI survey was being done on court orders and no ASI official had given any statement regarding the survey proceedings. But social, print and electronic media were publishing and disseminating false and wrong news in an arbitrary manner about portions (of the Gyanvapi mosque) where the survey had not been conducted yet, he added. It was necessary to stop social, print and electronic media from publishing and disseminating wrong/false news about the survey for maintaining peace and avoiding ill-effects on the mind of public, he said. Maan Bahadur Singh, counsel for Shringar Gauri-Gyanvapi case plaintiff number 1 Rakhi Singh, said, "People want to know about this matter. Therefore, media should not be stopped from coverage." #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; } /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
