Lucknow:
The Lucknow bench of the
Allahabad High Court has ordered that the disputed holy site in
Ayodhya be divided into three parts: one-third for Hindu Mahasabha,
one-third for Sunni Waqf Board and one-third for the Nirmohi
Akhara.
The three-member bench of the Allahabad High Court, comprising
justices SU Khan, Sudhir Agarwal and DV Sharma today delivered a
split verdict in 60-year old Ayodhya title suit.
The majority ruled that the disputed land in Ayodhya was a joint
property, held by all the three claimants namely Hindu Mahasabha ,
Nirmohi Akhara and Sunni Central Waqf Board. Justice SU Khan said
that the mosque was built by Babar, not by demolishing a temple ,
but on the ruins of a temple.
According to Chief Standing Counsel of the UP Government, Devendra
Upadhaya, the two judges namely Justices Khan and Agarwal ruled
that the disputed property should be equally divided ( One third
each) among the three parties. Justice DV Sharma has been
categorical that the land belongs to Hindus and has rejected the
claim of the Sunni Waqf Board.
However the entire bench is of the view that the central dome of
the disputed structure goes to Hindu Mahasabha, where the idols
were installed in 1949 and again in 1992 after the demolition of
the Babri Mosque. The sita rasoi and ram chabootara have been
given to Nirmohi Akhara.
The bench has also directed maintenance of status quo for three
months and invited suggestions from all the parties for
demarcation of the land
In view of the verdict, the nation has been put on high alert.
Uttar Pradesh has turned into a fortress with thousands of
paramilitary personnel patrolling the streets.
The intelligence network is on high alert throughout the state to
monitor movement and activities of anti-social elements.
Aerial surveys of "sensitive places", including the Ram Janmbhoomi
complex in Ayodhya has been done, police sources said.
All the security personnel deployed in Ayodhya and Faizabad have
been equipped with tear gas shells and rubber bullets and the
gazetted officers of various government departments have been
asked to assist in policing. They have also been provided with
rubber bullets and tear gas shells.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court paved the way for the Ayodhya
verdict to be delivered by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High
Court.
