Gyanvapi case: The Allahabad High Court dismisses the appeals of the Muslim party, allowing Hindu prayers to persist in the basement

In a big decision, the Allahabad High Court said no to the requests from the Muslim side in the Gyanvapi Mosque issue. This means that Hindus can still pray in the Gyanvapi Cellar. It's an important moment in the long fight over who owns the place and who gets to do religious activities there.

Here are the main things to know:

1. The court rejected the mosque committee's appeals against two important orders from the Varanasi judge.
2. The court agreed with the judge's decision to make the Varanasi district officer in charge of the "Vyas Tehkhana."
3. The court also said it's okay to continue religious activities, like "puja," in the tehkhana.

The judge, Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, looked at all the evidence and arguments from everyone involved. After checking everything, the court decided not to change the judge's orders.

The decision came after some time of thinking, with the judge holding off on making a decision on February 15 after listening to what all sides had to say.

The appeals were brought to the high court by the Anjuman Intezamia Mosque Committee, which takes care of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi. This decision is a big deal in the ongoing legal fight about the Gyanvapi mosque and will affect how it's managed and what religious activities can happen there.
