Both the 21st and the year 1991 petitions oppose the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, which five benches judge of the Supreme Court had also endorsed in the Ayodhya ruling.

Vikram Shukla, a lawyer representing petitioners, said to NDTV on the day that filming began on the first day that they had been happy with the outcome.

“We accessed all the areas that the petitioners wanted. We told the commissioner about it, and he, in turn, coordinated with the opposite side. There were clear orders that legal action would be taken against anyone who tried to stop the process, but nothing of this sort happened,” Mr. Shukla said.

The lawyer for the Gyanvapi Mosque trust that approached the Supreme Court against the filming order claiming it’s not following the Places of Worship Act, 1991, said nothing extraordinary was discovered during the inspection. “First everybody went within, 2 locks to basements were opened, one was broken as a result of it had been previous and rusted . there have been simply customary rooms. i do not suppose something of significance was found,” Mr. Tauhwed claimed during an interview on NDTV on May 14.
