SC to handle Ayodhya title dispute only as a ‘land issue’

Context:

The Supreme Court has said that the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute will be decided as any other land dispute based on evidence on record.

What has happened?

  • The Hindu parties and sects involved in the dispute believe Lord Ram was born on this land in Ayodhya.
  • Kar sevaks razed the 15th century Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992.
  • In September 2010, a three-judge Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court directed a three-way partition of the disputed site in Ayodhya.
  • But this judgment led to appeals and cross-appeals filed by parties in the Supreme Court.
  • Recently, the Supreme Court has chose to keep pending all intervention applications filed by those who were not parties to the dispute before the Allahabad High Court
  • The Supreme court has also decided to treat this controversial case as a land dispute issue.
