Ayodhya Ram Mandir verdict: Supreme Court adjourns the hearing on Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid till January 2019

The Supreme Court adjourned the hearing on Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid case till January 2019. A 3-judge bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi adjourned the hearing for the next three months till January next year. Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi said an appropriate bench will fix a date on the Ayodhya case.

The top court today was hearing a batch of pleas challenging the Allahabad High Court's 2010 verdict that divided into three parts the disputed land in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid area.

The Supreme Court's today's hearing on Ayodhya case folded up after four minutes. Chief Justice Gogoi made it clear the case would not be given an urgent hearing.

Speaking on the SC adjourning the hearing date, Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Keshav Prasad Maurya "I don't want to comment since it's the decision of Supreme Court. However, the adjournment of hearing doesn't send a good message."

Earlier on 27th September, the Supreme Court declined to hear the observations in its 1994 judgement that a mosque is not integral in Islam and also opened the gate for the hearing of the Ayodhya land dispute.

The decision was given by 2:1 by the apex court, which was headed by the then Chief Justice Dipak Misra. In the verdict, former CJI Dipak Misra also said that the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi decision will be decided on the basis of the evidence and also the previous verdict has no relevance to it.
