- A civil court in Uttar Pradesh asked the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a survey at the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi to determine whether it was built over a Kashi Vishwanath temple.
- The order was passed after a suit claimed that the mosque was built at the site after a temple was demolished in 1669 by Aurangzeb.
- The difference between this dispute and the Babri Masjid dispute is that the Babri dispute is related with the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991.
