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.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
