Today the Varanasi Court had allowed an application seeking to consolidate the eight suits relating to the Gyanvapi matters which were pending before various courts. Pursuantly, all these matters will be heard together by the District Judge.
District Judge Ajay K Vishvesha passed an order stating that it would be in the interests of justice that all suits relating to the Gyanvapi dispute be tried together and be consolidated.
The order was passed under Section 4A of the CPC (as amended by the Uttar Pradesh Act), which mandates that when two or more suits are pending before the same court, and the court is of the opinion that in the interests of justice to conduct a joint trial, the same can be ordered by the court.
The plaintiffs — Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu, Manju Vyas and Rekha Pathak pleaded that since all the suits are of a similar nature, therefore they should be tried together so that public tiem and money can be saved.
