Indian SC stays AHC Babri Masjid verdict

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the Allahabad High Court order partitioning the disputed land in Ayodhya. The SC said it was strange on Allahabad High Court's part to order partitioning the disputed land at Ayodhya as no party had prayed for it. "How could the High Court engineer something like partitioning of disputed land on its own", the SC asked. The Court issued notice to all parties on AHC judgment dividing the disputed land at Ayodhya among Waqf Board (Muslim); another to the Ram Lalla (Hindu); and the third section to the Nirmohi Akhara This was the first hearing in the Apex Court after the AHC's verdict in the title suit delivered in September last year.
