Ayodhya Judgement: The Supreme Court of India delivered the crucial verdict on Ram Janmabhoomi Babri Masjid land dispute case, wherein, Hindus get the disputed Ayodhya Land to build the Ram Mandir and Muslims get the alternate land of 5 acres to build the mosque. The verdict comes after 9 years of Allahabad High Court Judgement, wherein, it divided the land among three parties - Ram Lalla, Sunni Waqf Board and the Nirmohi Akhara.
The Supreme Court scrapped the high court ruling by giving the complete disputed land to Hindus and rejecting the claim of Waqf Board and Nirmohi akhara. Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi began the judgement after observing the developments in the Ayodhya land dispute case so far. The CJI observed that the ASI Report clearly depicts that Babri Masjid was not built on vacant land; this land was not of Islamic origin.
