New Delhi, Oct 16 (UNI) In a dramatic denouement, the Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved its verdict on a batch of petitions against the September 2010 Allahabad High Court judgement in connection with the Ramjanabhoomi-Babri Masjid land (Title) dispute case.
A five-judge Constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, and also comprising Justices Sharad Arvind Bobde, Ashok Bhushan, D Y Chandrachud and S Abdul Nazeer, heard the case from August 6, this year, on a day-to-day basis, (five days a week).
The step came after the mediation process, conducted by a high-powered panel three-member panel, headed by Justice (retd) FMI Kalifullah, apparently failed to make headway in the sensitive case.
Sources, meanwhile, said the Ayodhya mediation panel on Wednesday filed its final report in the apex court.
Reports said both sides-- Hindu and Muslim-- have agreed for a settlement of the dispute.
As per the terms of the agreement, the Ram temple should be built on the disputed land, but not without giving space for the mosque, sources said.
The report says that Religious places act 1991 should come into force which stipulates to maintain 1947 status for all shrines.
