A five-judge Constitution bench on 11 July directed the mediation panel, which was set up to settle the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, to submit a status report by 18 July. The three-member mediation panel is headed by retired Supreme Court judge, Justice F.M.I. Kalifulla. The SC said that if mediation does not work, the case will be heard on a day-to-day basis from 25 July. The Supreme Court on 10 May had granted additional time to the three-member mediation committee to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution to the Ayodhya land title dispute case. The panel, which submitted an interim report in a sealed cover on 7 May, was given time till 15 August to work out “an amicable solution" to the dispute. The panel chairman had sought more time to find an amicable solution.
