New Delhi:
The Supreme Court Wednesday deferred the hearing on a petition
seeking to restrain the Allahabad High Court from pronouncing its
verdict Sep 24 on a title suit linked to Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri
Masjid dispute in Ayodhya.
An apex court bench of Justice Altamas Kabir and Justice A.K.
Patnaik said that it was not in its "determination" (roster) to
hear the mentioning matter arising out of a civil suit.
The court said that the court's registry has been asked to post
the matter before an appropriate bench. The petition may now come
up for hearing Thursday.
Senior counsel Mukul Rohtagi, who appeared for petitioner and
retired bureaucrat Ramesh Chandra Tripathi, told the court that
under the convention when the chief justice of India is presiding
over the constitution bench hearing constitutional matter then the
second senior-most bench could hear all matters of urgency.
Earlier in the morning when petitioner Tripathi's counsel Sunil K.
Jain sought to mention the matter, the court asked him to do so at
2 p.m.
Tripathi has challenged the order of the Lucknow bench of the high
court rejecting his plea for the deferment of the pronouncement of
the verdict, scheduled for Friday, so that there could be some
mediation for an amicable settlement of the dispute.
The high court also imposed a cost of Rs.50,000 on Tripathi.
Tripathi's petition was turned down by the three-judge special
bench of the high court last week. While two judges S.U. Khan and
Sudhir Agrawal rejected the application, the third judge, Dharam
Veer Sharma, allowed the plea, following which Tripathi chose to
move the apex court.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
