The Hindu women plaintiffs in the Gyanvapi case will approach the Supreme Court to request the opening of sealed cellars in the Varanasi mosque.

The plaintiffs' advocate, Vishnu Shankar Jain, contended that these cellars were believed to contain crucial evidence of a Hindu Mandir predating the current edifice, as revealed in last week's ASI survey report.

Jain will also present another plea before SC. This seeks an ASI survey of the sealed "wuzukhana (ablution water tank)" on the Gyanvapi premises. The tank has been sealed since May 16, 2022, after the Hindu side claimed that a "Shivling" was found there during an earlier court-mandated survey.
