The Varanasi district court will hear the Shringar Gauri-Gyanvapi matter on August 18.

A petition was filed before the Court by Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee on Thursday, seeking at least 15-day time in wake of Advocate Abhay Nath Yadav's demise and the fact that all files are locked inside his chamber.

The Supreme Court last month adjourned the appeal filed by the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee to October first week, saying it will wait for the decision of the Varanasi court on the Committee's plea questioning the maintainability of the suit filed by Hindu women.

The apex court also declined to entertain a fresh plea to offer water to the 'Shivling', said to be found in the Gyanvapi mosque.

It also did not entertain a plea filed by seven women seeking carbon dating and ground penetrating radar survey of the discovered ‘Shivling’ within the Gyanvapi Mosque.
