District Judge Ajay Krishna Vishwesha certified copy of the commission's report, which includes video and photos, will be handed over to all the parties today. The district judge had ordered to file an objection on the commission's report within a week.

It is believed that after the hearing today, the district judge's court can give a copy of the videography to both the parties, which took place in Gyanvapi during the commission proceedings in the past. However, the main advocate of Hindu side Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi said that the video should be seen by the whole country.

The duration of the video of about 11 hours. The Hindu side claims the video has pictures that prove Gyanvapi is the ancient temple of Adi Vishweshwar.

Muslim side demand dismissal of case

In the last hearing, arguments were given for about two hours on behalf of the lawyers of the Muslim side. Abhay Nath Yadav, counsel for the Masjid Committee, said that the matter of finding Shivling in the premises has not been proved. This suit of Hindu side is completely non maintainable. Therefore it should be rejected.

On the other hand, the Hindu side has filed a 10-page reply on the application of Advocate Anjuman Intajamia Committee regarding order 7 rule 11.
