SC adjourns Ayodhya case, will announce hearing dates in January
New Delhi, Oct 29 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned the case, which pertains to whether Ram temple can be built in the disputed land of Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, till January, when it will announce the hearing dates, media reports said.
The top court will hear pleas challenging Allahabad High Court's verdict which divided 2.77-acre disputed Ayodhya land among Ram Lalla, Sunni Waqf Board and Nirmohi Akhara.
The case will be taken up by a new bench excluding Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, NDTV reported.
The apex court will decide whether Ram temple can be built in the same disputed land, where Babri Masjid was held till 1992.
In 1992, the Babri Masjid was brought down by several right-wing volunteers who believe Lord Ram was born at that land.
The verdict, if passed prior to 2019 General Elections, will boost up the BJP, whose political commitment was building the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
On Sept 27, the apex court had refused to re-visit its 1994 verdict which had stated mosque was not important for Muslims to offer prayers, paving way for the hearing of the Ayodhya case.
