The district court of Varanasi had asked the ASI to submit the report on the Gyanvapi Masjid complex by November 28.
On Tuesday, 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.
