Status quo on Ayodhya verdict extended till 31st May by HC
The Allahabad High Court has extended till 31st May the status quo on the implementation on its 30th September order on the Ayodhya title suits.
While extending the status quo, a special Lucknow full bench of the court comprising justices S U Khan, Sudhir Agarwal and V K Dixit reserved its order on three review petitions filed by local lawyer M Ismail Farooqui.
Farooqui had moved petitions seeking review in the judgement on the suits of Rajendra Singh, Nirmohi Akhara and Bhagwan Ram Lala Virajman. The court had earlier extended the status quo till 15th February.
In its 30th September order, the court had provided three months time for filing the appeal while directing that the judgement shall not be operative for three months from that date.
The court had ruled by a majority verdict that the disputed land in Ayodhya be divided equally into three parts among Hindus and Muslims and that the place where the makeshift temple of Lord Ram exists belongs to Hindus.
The next sitting of the full bench will take place on 28th April.
