              New Delhi: 
              Indian Muslim groups like the All India Muslim Personal Law Board 
              (AIMPLB) Monday said they agreed with the stay on the Allahabad 
              High Court verdict, that divided the site of the razed Babri 
              Masjid in Ayodhya into three parts, which the Supreme Court termed 
              as "strange". 
               
              "That it was a strange judgment, is a very important remark made 
              by the Supreme Court. The high court judgment, which was termed as 
              a good judgment because it tried to satisfy all parties, was 
              questionable," S.Q.R. Ilyas, member of the executive council of 
              AIMPLB, told IANS. 
               
              The Supreme Court stayed the September 2010 Allahabad High Court 
              verdict that had divided the site of the Babri Masjid among the 
              Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhada and a Hindu party 'Ram Lalla'.
               
               
              "By directing the partition of the disputed site, the high court 
              has given an entirely new dimension to the case," the apex court 
              said Monday. 
               
              "It is a rare judgment whose operation has to be stayed," it 
              added.  
               
              Agreeing with the apex court ruling, Abdul Hameed Nomani, 
              secretary of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind, a religious organisation of 
              Indian Muslims which is also one of the petitioners in the case, 
              said: "The important question before the court is whether the 
              country should be ruled on the basis of faith or facts." 
               
              "I don't want to comment more on the case since the matter is in 
              court," he added.
