New Delhi:
The Supreme Court Thursday deferred till Sep 28 its ruling on the
pronouncement of the Ayodhya verdict by the Lucknow bench of the
Allahabad High Court.
The court also issued notice to all the parties to the title suit
and asked Attorney General Goolam Vahanvati to be present in the
court when the case is heard five days later.
The ruling followed a petition by retired bureaucrat Ramesh
Chandra Tripathi seeking postponement of the high court verdict at
least until the end of the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games. It sought
the court’s direction to the parties to explore possibilities of
an out of court amicable settlement.
There was a divergence of views in the apex court bench of
Justices R.V. Ravindran and H.L. Gokhale. According to the bench,
while one member felt that the special leave petition be
dismissed, another was of the view that notice be issued and the
order stayed.
Under the convention, when one member of the bench favours the
issuance of notice though the other member of the bench disagrees,
notices are issued. Stating this, Justice Ravindran passed the
order staying the pronouncement of the Ayodhya verdict by a week
and issue of notice to all parties to the suit.
Tripathi’s petition was turned down by the three-judge special
bench of the Allahabad 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.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court was due to deliver
its verdict on the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi dispute Sep 24.

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.
