The Allahabad High Court rejects Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee's plea, upholding the district court's decision to permit Hindu worship inside the sealed basement of Varanasi's Gyanvapi mosque. Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal orders Advocate General to ensure law and order in and around the premises. The committee's appeal against the district judge's order redirected to the high court. During the hearing, Hindu and Muslim sides debated over basement allocation. The court underscores lack of challenge to earlier orders, refusing relief to the mosque committee and maintaining the status quo on puja proceedings. Next hearing slated for February 6.
