Ayodhya verdict Court Judgement

LUCKNOW: After petitioner Ramesh Chandra Tripathi, who had sought deferment of the Ayodhya verdict, another key party in the matter Nirmohi Akhara plans to move the Supreme Court for postponement of the judgment for three months to facilitate an out-of-court amicable settlement, a lawyer said Monday.

This was disclosed by Nirmohi Akhara counsel Ranjit Lal Verma here just before leaving for Delhi to move an application in the apex court.

"I am heading for Delhi to move an application before the apex court for postponing the verdict for three months," Lal told IANS.

He is also seeking the apex court's intervention for granting extension to a judge of the Allahabad High Court, Dharam Veer Sharma, who is scheduled to retire at the end of the this month.

Justice Sharma is one of the three judges on the high court bench which is due to deliver its judgment on the Ayodhya dispute. The high court had reserved its verdict July 27 and announced it would pronounce it Sep 24.

The apex court later imposed an interim stay on the pronouncement of the judgment by the high court till Tuesday. The apex court is now scheduled to take a final call on Tripathi's plea Tuesday.

Retired bureaucrat Tripathi approached the apex court for postponing the high court verdict till at least the end of the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games. He also sought the court's direction to the parties to explore the possibility of an out-of-court amicable settlement.

He challenged the high court order rejecting his plea for deferring the pronouncement of the verdict so that there could be some mediation for an amicable settlement of the dispute.

Tripathi's petition was turned down by the three-judge special bench of the high court two weeks ago. While two judges S.U. Khan and Sudhir Agrawal rejected the application, the third judge, Dharam Veer Sharma, allowed the plea, following which Tripathi chose to move the apex court.

The high court also imposed a fine of Rs.50,000 on Tripathi.

Nirmohi Akhara is a key party in the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi title suit. 


The dispute on the title suit of the Babri Masjid Ram Janmabhoomi at Ayodhya has been going on for nearly 60 years. Finally, the Ayodhya Case High Court Verdict will be pronounced on September 24th, 2010 by a special branch of the Allahabad High Court.


Babri Masjid Ram Janmabhoomi Dispute

Basically the Ayodhya dispute is about who has the right to the title of the land where the Babri Masjid is located; or rather, where it was located since it was demolished on December 6th, 1992.

The demolition of the Babri Masjid sparked off communal riots across India and left thousands of people dead. Within 10 days of the Babri Masjid demolition, the Government of India, at that time headed by P.V. Narasimha Rao, set up a Commission to probe the demolition and indict those responsible. The Commission was headed by Justice MS Liberhan. Starting its hearings in March 1993, the Liberhan Commission, as it came to be known, went through 399 sittings, heard the testimony of 100 witnesses, took 48 extensions, and spent nearly 8 crores before it finally submitted its report – after 17 years! The Liberhan Commission Report was finally submitted in June 2009. The report indicted top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Sangh Parivar.


Ayodhya Case High Court Verdict

Surprisingly, just a few days before the Ayodhya case verdict, Justice DV Sharma, one of the judges of the Allahabad High Court, issued an order with a note that the Ayodhya dispute should be resolved amicably out-of-Court, before the High Court verdict is issued. However, the other judges, Justice SU Khan and Justice Sudhir Agrawal, rejected Justice Sharma's option and decided to go ahead and pronounce the Babri Masjid Ayodhya Case Judgement on Friday September 24th 2010.
