New Delhi: The Sunni
Central Waqf Board Tuesday filed a special leave petition in the
Supreme Court for setting aside the Allahabad High Court judgment
on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit.
"Our appeal on behalf of Sunni Waqf Board was filed today,"
Zafaryab Jilani, the board's lawyer, told reporters here.
A three-judge special bench of the Allahabad High Court Sep 30
ordered the division of the disputed land in Ayodhya into three
equal parts - one for Ram Lalla, one for Hindu sect Nirmohi Akhara
and one for the Sunni Central Waqf Board.
Jilani said the board's plea to the court was that the "building
in dispute is a mosque and its possession be delivered to
Muslims".
He added that the grounds for the plea was that the "high court
has committed a manifest error in holding that the building be
treated as a place of birth of Lord Ram".
"We have challenged that the suit should not be decided on the
belief and faith of one community."
The high court bench, in a majority ruling, had said the disputed
site was indeed the birthplace of Hindu god Ram and the Babri
mosque was built after razing a temple at the spot.
