New Delhi, July 24 -- The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to immediately entertain a plea seeking permission for Hindu devotees to perform religious rituals during the upcoming month of Shravan at the sealed area inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi, observing that "this is not the right time" and asking the petitioners to wait. A bench, comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, made the observation when advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, appearing for one of the Hindu plaintiffs, sought urgent interim relief to permit limited worship at the disputed site, where the Hindu side claims a Shivling exists while the mosque committee maintains that the structure is part of a fountain in the mosque's wazukhana (ablution tank). "This is not the right time...wait for some time," the bench told Jain, while adjourning the plea by two weeks. Shravan, regarded as the most auspicious month dedicated to Lord Shiva, begins on July 30. To be sure, Hindu devotees are already performing prayers at the southern basement chamber of the complex after a court order in 2024....
