NEW DELHI: A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court will begin hearing the Aydodhya land dispute case from January 10.
The bench will be headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, along with Justice SA Bobde, Justice NV Ramana, Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice DY Chandrachud.
On September 29, the top court had rejected a plea by Muslim parties for reference of the pending appeal for adjudication before a five-judge bench and had ruled that a three-judge bench was competent to decide the land dispute.
A bench of then CJI Misra and Justices Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer, by 2-1 majority, had held that appeals against the Allahabad HC’s verdict on Ayodhya land dispute will be heard by a 3-judge bench. Justice Nazeer had leaned in favour of Ayodhya dispute being sent to a five-judge bench.
Last week, while hearing the matter, the Supreme Court had said that further orders will be passed on January 10 by the appropriate bench, as may be constituted.
