SC to hear Gyanvapi case on April 14; allows Muslims to apply for permission for ablution in mosque
New Delhi: In a significant development, the Supreme Court has announced that it will hear the case relating to the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi on April 14. The Apex Court has also allowed Muslims to side to file an application before it regarding their request to allow the practice of ablution inside the mosque premises.
The Gyanvapi mosque, located next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, is a site of great religious significance for both Hindus and Muslims. While the Hindu side claims that the mosque was built on the ruins of a Hindu temple, the Muslim side contends that the mosque was constructed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
The Supreme Court's decision to allow the Muslim side to file an application before it regarding their request to allow the practice of ablution inside the mosque premises has been hailed by the Muslim community.

Ind vs Ban: Rain washes out Day 2 of 2nd Test
Kanpur, Sep 28: The second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh was on Saturday called off without a ball being bowled due to persistent downpour.
The drizzle in the morning turned into heavy rain, not letting the action begin on day two at Green Park Stadium.
The groundsmen put the three super soppers to work around 11:15 am after the rain stopped. The visibility was also poor.
As conditions did not improve, the second day's play was called off officially at 2:15pm.
As per the weather forecast, the city is expected to receive rain even on Sunday but Monday and Tuesday are likely to be sunny and warm. In that scenario, the match seems to be headed for a draw.
Bangladesh had ended the rain-curtailed opening day at 107 for three as only 35 overs could be bowled.
India pacer Akash Deep accounted for Bangladeshi openers -- Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam -- while off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin sent back rival skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto.
India are leading the two-match series 1-0, having won the Chennai Test by 280 runs.
