New Delhi:
The Supreme Court Tuesday paved the way for the Allahabad High
Court to give its verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, dismissing a
petition that sought its postponement. The high court has decided
to announce the verdict Sep 30 at 3.30 p.m.
Former bureaucrat Ramesh Chandra Tripathi had filed the petition
for deferring the high court verdict on the Babri
Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi title suit in Ayodhya till the end of the
Commonwealth Games.
An apex court bench of Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia, Justice Aftab
Alam and Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan passed the brief order when
the court reassembled after lunch break Tuesday.
Speaking for the bench, Chief Justice Kapadia said: "Having heard
the arguments in detail, we are of the view that the petition
deserves to be dismissed."
With the dismissal of Tripathi's petition, the decision on when to
pronounce the verdict now rests with the high court.
In its pre-lunch sitting, the apex court heard the arguments from
both the sides.
Attorney General G. Vahanvati told the court: "If there is any
possibility of the settlement (out of court), we will welcome it
but at the same time we don't want any uncertainty to continue."
"For the sake of maintaining law and order, we cannot keep
security forces in sustained animation," he added.
The apex court last week ordered an interim stay on the
pronouncement of the title suit verdict by the high court, acting
on a petition by Tripathi.
Tripathi had also sought the court's direction to the parties to
explore the possibility of an out-of-court amicable settlement.

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.
