Most perfect judgement: Ex-ASI director KK Mohammed on SC's Ayodhya verdict

"This is the most perfect judgment I can ever think of..I never thought it could be this perfect. The entire area has been given to the Hindus community. For Hindus it is as important as Mecca Madina for Muslims," Mohammed told Times Now.

"For Muslims, it (disputed land) is not associated with Prophet Mohammed who is the most important individual for Muslims. It is not associated with any of the great saints of Islam like Nizamuddin Auliya, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. So, that way, it is not important for Muslims as it is important for Hindus. The court has done (concluded the case) on the basis of evidence that was supplied by Archaeological Survey of India," he has been quoted by Times Now.

Urging all to accept the judgement, the former ASI director further said as quoted by the media, "This is a kind of judgment which we all wanted. It is time for us to unite together and build a united India."

Amid a tightened security across the nation and particularly in Uttar Pradesh, a five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi asked the Indian government to set up a trust within three months to decide on the disputed Ayodhya land for the Hindus to build a temple, while they asked for a five-acre land for the Muslims to construct a mosque in a prominent alternative location.

Inner and outer land should be given to the trust, the court said in the 70-year-old legal dispute. In a unanimous judgement, the Sunni Waqf Board was given 5 acres of alternate land. 

The disputed land now goes effectively in possession of the Indian government.

The court said the judgement is based on the basis of Constitution and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and not on based of faith. The court rejected the demolition of the disputed structure or the Babri Masjid in 1992.  The court also rejected the event of 1949 when Hindu activists had surreptitiously placed idols of Lord Rama inside the mosque.

The apex court said the Muslim parties have not been able to exhibit possessory claim to inner courtyard while the Hindus were able to prove unimpeded possession of the outer courtyard.

Existence of structure before mosque can't alone be basis of title claim, the top court said.

On Archaeological Survey of India report, the apex court said, "Adequate material in ASI reports conclude the mosque was not built on vacant land, Babri was built on underlying structure which was not Islamic structure."
