New Delhi: Days after Supreme Court suggested mediation as a way to resolve the issue; Supreme Court said that it is not only about property, but it is about sentiment and faith.

It said it has no control over what happened in the past and is concerned only about resolving the dispute.

With political parties getting involved in the dispute, the top court said that it is conscious of gravity of dispute and outcome of meditation on politics.

The court said that there need not be one mediator but a panel of mediators.

"When the mediation is on, it should not be reported on. It may not be a gag, but no motive should be attributed to anyone when the mediation process is on," Supreme Court added.

Hindu Mahasabha in their argument said, “Hindus are not ready for any mediation. It’s a deity property and nobody has the right to mediate. For us it’s a sentimental issue. Do not refer the matter to mediation. We are waiting for outcome of result since 1950.”

Snubbing the Hindu Mahasabha lawyer, Justice SA Bobde said, “Are you not pre-judging the whole thing. Are you not saying it’s a failure even before it’s attempted? We think that is not fair.”

Justice SA said when the court is ordering mediation, they are not yet assuming somebody will give up something as they believe it’s not primarily a dispute over the 1500 yards of land.

“Do not think we are not conscious of it or do you think you have more faith than us,” questioned Justice SA.

A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, and comprising justices SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and SA Nazeer, will resume hearing the case.

The court had earlier said that even if there was a 1 per cent chance of an amicable resolution, it should be explored.
