The plea was heard today by the bench of Hon’ble Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Justice Subhash Vidharti
That the petitioners are the follower of Sanatan Hindu Dharma and worship Lord Shiv in routine. They are coming to file this petition in the public interest as due to the dispute which has arisen after the emergence of a structure in the Gyan Vapi campus to which the Hindus are claiming that it is Vishweshwar Jyotirlinga, the prayer of Lord Shiva is not being performed.
The seeks a direction to the UOI and the State of UP to act according to such a report and permit the devotees to pray as per the rituals in case a Shiav Linga has been found inside the mosque.

That after the emergence of structure which looks like Shivlinga and it is so claimed by the Hindus, there is demand from all corners of the world where Hindus are residing to start the Puja and Darshan of Lord Vishweshwar.
The television debates on this issue are also going on since then on which a lot of things are being said by the debaters.
The Hindus are claiming their fundamental right of worship the Lingam of Lord Shiv whereas the Muslims are saying that it is fountain not the Lingam.
The rival claims of both the sides have so charged the atmosphere where a BJP leader said something against Prophet Mohammed as result of which the Hindus are getting bad repute in the Islamic world which has also created danger to our good relations with the Islamic world.
It has been stated in the plea that it was being filed for the reason that BHog, Darshan, Arti of Lord Visheswar cannot wait for years and years and it should be stated without any further delay.The petitioners have taken a view that unless religious rituals are allowed, the communal tension would continue and there is every possibility of disturbance of public order in coming days.
