New Delhi [India], May 31 : Vishva Hindu Parishad working president Alok Kumar on Wednesday said that the recent verdict given by Allahabad High Court in the Gyanvapi Mosque matter will pave the way for speedy judgement in this case ahead.

"We hope that now the suit would expeditiously proceed towards a final judgment," he added.
Allahabad High Court in its order dismissed the Muslim side's plea challenging the maintainability of five Hindu women worshippers' suit filed in Varanasi Court seeking the right to worship inside Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi.
The lawsuit filed by a group of Hindu women worshippers seeking the right to pray in the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi was valid, the court ruled, allowing the case to continue in the Varanasi District Court.

The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, Varanasi had filed an application objecting to the maintainability of the suit that the court has no jurisdiction to hear the suit under the provisions of the Places of Worship Act, 1991.
