petition in SC seeking postponement of Ayodhya Verdict

Lucknow:
After petitioner Ramesh Chandra Tripathi, who had sought deferment
of the Ayodhya verdict, another key party in the matter Nirmohi
Akhara plans to move the Supreme Court for postponement of the
judgment for three months to facilitate an out-of-court amicable
settlement, a lawyer said Monday.
This was disclosed by Nirmohi Akhara counsel Ranjit Lal Verma here
just before leaving for Delhi to move an application in the apex
court.
“I am heading for Delhi to move an application before the apex
court for postponing the verdict for three months,” Lal told IANS.
He is also seeking the apex court’s intervention for granting
extension to a judge of the Allahabad High Court, Dharam Veer
Sharma, who is scheduled to retire at the end of the this month.
Justice Sharma is one of the three judges on the high court bench
which is due to deliver its judgment on the Ayodhya dispute. The
high court had reserved its verdict July 27 and announced it would
pronounce it Sep 24.
The apex court later imposed an interim stay on the pronouncement
of the judgment by the high court till Tuesday. The apex court is
now scheduled to take a final call on Tripathi’s plea Tuesday.
Retired bureaucrat Tripathi approached the apex court for
postponing the high court verdict till at least the end of the Oct
3-14 Commonwealth Games. He also sought the court’s direction to
the parties to explore the possibility of an out-of-court amicable
settlement.
He challenged the high court order rejecting his plea for
deferring the pronouncement of the verdict so that there could be
some mediation for an amicable settlement of the dispute.
Tripathi’s petition was turned down by the three-judge special
bench of the high court two weeks ago. 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 high court also imposed a fine of Rs.50,000 on Tripathi.
Nirmohi Akhara is a key party in the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi
title suit.

Picture of the Day |

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.
