Muslim Law Board to appeal against Ayodhya
verdict

Lucknow:
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board Saturday said it had
decided to appeal in the Supreme Court against the Ayodhya verdict
given by a three-judge bench of the Allahabad High Court last
month.
The decision was taken
at a closed-door gathering of the 51-member executive held at the
Darul-Uloom, Nawa-tul-Ulema, popularly known as Nadwa here.
"The meeting felt that this judgment suffers from a number of
infirmities. The executive committee of the All India Muslim
Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) considers it to be the right and
obligation of the Indian Muslims to challenge the judgment in the
apex court and remove distortions introduced by the judgment in
the basic values of the constitution and the established norms of
jurisprudence," the Board said in a press statement.
"Under these circumstances, the Board decides that this verdict be
challenged in the Supreme Court of India," it said.
Chaired by Maulana Rabe Hasan Nadwi, the rector of the Nadwa, the
meeting was reportedly attended by prominent Islamic scholars and
clerics from different parts of the country.
A Board source earlier said no consensus could be obtained on
going for an amicable out-of-court settlement even though some
members of the Board expressed their views in favour of such a
settlement.
The meet follows the Sep 30 verdict of the Allahabad High Court
that decided to divide the disputed 90 ft x 120 ft plot of land in
Ayodhya into three equal parts - two to two separate Hindu parties
involved in the case and one to the Sunni Central Waqf Board,
representing Muslims.
Earlier, the Sunni Central Waqf Board had resolved to appeal
against the order of the high court.
However, since the All India Muslim Personal Law Board is the
highest decision-making body regarding religious rights of Muslims
in the country, the final decision on the issue was left to the
board.
