The head priest of Acharya Ved Vyas Peeth temple, Shailendra Kumar Pathak Vyas, has filed a suit before the court of Civil Judge senior division, seeking worship of Shringar Gauri and other visible and invisible deities in the cellar of Gyanvapi mosque and appointment of District Magistrate or any other suitable persons as the receiver of the cellar in the southern side of the building.
Only a few minutes after the filing of the suit by Vyas’s lawyer Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi, another lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain filed an application before the court of district judge to direct for transfer of the suit to his court, mentioning that it would be deemed fit in the interest of justice.

Making Anjuman Intejamia Masjid Committee, the Gyanvapi mosque management committee, as defendant, Vyas, in his suit, mentioned that worship of deities was performed within the cellar of the southern side of the building till 1993.
