Ayodhya case: CJI Gogoi explains why matter was sent to Constitution bench

The much-anticipated hearing in the Ayodhya Ram mandir- Babri masjid land title suit was adjourned yet again on Thursday till January 29 after Justice UU Lalit recused himself from the case, prompting protests and agitation outside the court. Senior advocate Rajiv Dhawan, who is representing one of the parties, raised arguments questioning the decision, arguing that former CJI Dipak Mishra had passed a judicial finding that there was no requirement for Constitutional bench. CJI Gogoi, however, said that the Rules of Procedure of the Supreme Court allow the Chief Justice to take such a decision. The CJI also noted that the Supreme Court registry was looking into the translation of the documents submitted as evidence for this case.
