The UP government said that if the Muslim side wanted, they could have already challenged the order of the lower court in the High Court. They have done this intentionally.

On the ASI’s survey in the Supreme Court, the UP government issued a reply saying that only videography and mapping are going on. There will be no excavation of any kind for a week.

There will be no digging in the mosque premises for a week.

CJI said that we take on record the statement of ASI that no excavation work will be done for a week. In a week, the Muslim side can approach the High Court.

At the same time, the CJI said that there will be no harm in any way by taking photographs.
