The Supreme Court said on Friday that it will soon take a decision on a plea seeking hearing of petitions challenging the Allahabad High Court verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land row.
The bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud said “we will take a decision on it” when BJP leader Subramanian Swamy mentioned the matter for urgent hearing.
The court hinted that the matter will be listed shortly but did not assign a date. Swamy said the apex court had allowed him to intervene in the matter and pointed out that the appeals have been pending for seven years. He added that he had a filed a separate petition earlier seeking enforcement of his right to worship at the site.
In its verdict, the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court had ordered a three-way division of the disputed land among Ram Lalla, Nirmohi Akhada and Sunni Waqf Board.
