Allahabad High Court will pronounce on August 3 its verdict on a plea against a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque by Archaeological Survey of India to determine if it was built on a temple.

The Allahabad High Court had on July 27 reserved its verdict till August 3 and also ordered that the stay on the survey will continue till then. 

The high court was hearing the plea filed by Anjuman Intezamia Masjid, which manages the mosque.

It had moved the high court on July 25, a day after the Supreme Court halted the ASI survey till 5 pm on July 26, allowing time for the mosque management committee to appeal against the lower court's order.

A Varanasi court had earlier directed the ASI to conduct the survey, including excavations, wherever necessary, to determine if the mosque was built at a place where a temple existed earlier.
