On Tuesday, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) sought three more weeks from the Varanasi district court to submit the scientific survey report of the disputed Gyanvapi complex.

The ASI sought an extension of three weeks, saying it needed more time for the assimilation of information generated by different experts, counsel for the Hindu side Madan Mohan Yadav said.

In its application, the ASI said that its experts are working on various types of data collected by archaeologists, surveyors and other experts, etc. “Assimilation of information generated by different experts and different tools is a difficult and slow process and it will take some more time to complete the report for final submission. The court is therefore requested to give three more weeks to ASI to submit it,” Yadav said quoting the application of the ASI.

Earlier, the district court had asked the ASI to submit the report  by November 28.

The court will hear the plea on Wednesday.
