New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Friday granted more time to the Archaeological Survey
of India (ASI) to file its report on its probe to ascertain if any
Mughal-era mosque structure existed near Subhash Park in central
Delhi.
Seeking more time to submit a report, counsel for ASI told the
court that IIT (Indian Institute of Technology)-Kanpur has said
that it would submit its report by December-end.
The ASI had earlier assigned the task to conducting a ground
penetration radar survey to IIT-Kanpur.
Granting more time to the ASI, a special bench of Justice Sanjay
Kishan Kaul, Justice Rajiv Shakdher and Justice M.L. Mehta said: "ASI
said some more time required to complete task assigned to it, so
time is granted to ASI to submit the report."
The structure was allegedly built by legislator Shoaib Iqbal at
the Delhi Metro excavation site at Subhash Park, near the Jama
Masjid, where the ruins of a purported 17th century mosque were
unearthed.
Meanwhile, the court also asked Delhi Police to look into the
allegations leveled by S.S. Omji, vice president of religious
body, Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, that he has been attacked by
Iqbal.
While making the submission, Omji broke down into the tears in the
court and told that he has been repeatedly attacked by Iqbal.
Seeking police protection, he also said that he has complaint to
police many a times but no action has been taken.
The bench said: "The police would expeditiously look into the
allegations made by S.S. Omji and file a status report in a sealed
cover." The bench would next hear the matter on Feb 1.
The court July 30 asked the ASI and the civic agency to remove the
structure, and instructed police to provide protection to the
demolition team.
The construction had come over the purported remains of a Mughal-era
monument that surfaced during the digging work for a Delhi Metro
station.
The court handed over the site to the ASI to ascertain if the
ruins were indeed the remains of the Akbarabadi mosque.
