Pleas dismissed, No early hearing in Ayodhya title dispute case: SC

New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India has refused have an early hearing on Ayodhya title dispute case today.

The Bench comprising of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S.K. Kaul said the court has already passed the order and listed the appeals before the appropriate bench in January.

The early hearing plea was filed by lawyer Barun Kumar Sinha who is appearing for the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha.

“We have already passed the order. The appeals are coming up in January. Permission declined,” the bench said rejecting the early hearing plea.

Earlier SC Bench comprising of three-Judges headed by then CJI Misra had refused to refer to a five-judge Constitution Bench the issue of reconsideration of Allahabad High Court’s 1994 verdict which stated that a mosque was not integral to Islam, PTI reported.

The then CJI had said that the civil suit has to be decided on the basis of evidence and that the previous verdict has no relevance to the title suit.

So far as many as 14 appeals have been filed against the high court judgement delivered in four civil suits where the 2.77-acre land be equally partitioned among three contesting parties — the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
