Muslim parties will be given alternate land while a trust to be formed by the central government will monitor the construction of a Hindu temple, the Supreme Court has ruled in a unanimous verdict on the decades-old Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid title dispute. A suitable plot of land measuring 5 acre shall be given to Sunni Waqf Board, it said. It said that the Archeological Survey of India report on the underlying structure can’t be dismissed and that Babri Masjid wasn’t constructed on a vacant land. It adds that the underlying structure was not of Islamic religion, but ASI report hasn't said the underlying structure was a specific temple. The Shia Waqf Board’s claim on the Babri Masjid has been unanimously dismissed and the Nirmohi Akhara has also suffered a setback. The bench ruled that the Nirmohi Akhara suit is barred by limitations and said the Akhara isn’t a shebait.
As the nation awaits the Supreme Court judgement in one of the oldest and most contentious matters of independent India – the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit in Ayodhya – another related case might see a verdict from a court in Lucknow not so long afterwards.
