Verdict Out: Ram Mandir Wins Finally!

Finally, Ram Mandir issue which was in trouble for many decades has been solved today. The SC has ordered the Central Government to formulate the scheme for setting up of trust and handover the disputed site for Ram’s temple construction, within 3 – 4 months. An alternative plot of land measuring 5 acres at Ayodhya will be given to Sunni Wakf Board, SC said. The land which will be given to Muslims does not include an inner courtyard on which the masjid once stood.

All five judges have given concurrent judgment. “This court must accept faith and accept the belief of worshippers. The court should preserve balance,” said Ranjan Gogoi, Chief Justice of India, while reading out the judgment. SC has dismissed Nirmohi Akhara suit and Shia petition challenging 1945 order. Only the existence of a structure beneath the mosque cannot lead to a title today even if the SC finds that it was a Hindu temple, SC said.

“Hindus always believed that the birthplace of Ram was in the inner courtyard of the mosque. For 325 years, from the construction of the mosque till 1857, Muslims have given no evidence of offering prayers at the disputed structure in exclusion of Hindus,” the court said. Sunni Waqf board has failed to claim adverse possession over the mosque as it remained a disputed site between Hindus and Muslims. The court has appreciated the role of mediators Justice Kalifulla, ace mediator Sriram Panchu and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for coming close to the settlement.
