Fresh appeal against Ayodhya ruling
A second Muslim group in India has appealed against a ruling over the Ayodhya holy site, where a Hindu mob destroyed a mosque 18 years ago.

Lucknow High Court said the land should be divided, and that the razed 16th century mosque should not be rebuilt.

The Sunni Wakf Board says the judgement was based on "incorrect assumption".

Last month the Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind appealed against the verdict, saying it appears to be based not on evidence but on the professed belief of Hindus.

Hindus claim the Babri Masjid site is the birthplace of their deity, Ram.

"We feel the ruling was based on a number of incorrect assumption and the board considers it the right and obligation of Indian Muslims to challenge the judgment," Zafaryab Jeelani, a lawyer for the Sunni Wakf Board, told the AFP news agency.

The Sunni Wakf Board petition said the Muslims would not surrender their claim over the site in the northern Indian holy town of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh state.

The case - based on who owns the land - has dragged on for decades, from well before the destruction of the Babri Masjid mosque in 1992.

The attack was followed by some of the worst religious riots in the country's history, causing thousands of deaths.

Hope SC gives sane decision to rebuild the mosque, not emotional one like Prayag highcourt gave.

I hope the SC does the sane thing and either upholds the HC verdict or makes only minor alterations. There's no need to re-ignite an issue of this nature.

And Prayag HC??? Its not hard to see the intent behind that usage.

Our domestic decisions should not be based on what happens half-way around the world.
Unless its something positive.

 

[luckyyy]

i think SC will uphold the HC ruling..
it's a sensible issue and if by-and-large the people has accepted the HC ruling , there is no point that SC bring anything new that bring the issue to square one...
