Ayodhya verdict: Main litigant Iqbal Ansari against seeking review of SC judgment
The HinduIqbal Ansari, the main litigant in the Ayodhya land dispute case, on November 17 distanced himself from the decision of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board to file a petition seeking review of the Supreme Court verdict. The AIMPLB decided on November 17 that it would file a petition seeking review of the Supreme Court’s judgment in the Ayodhya case and said it was against accepting the five-acre alternative land given for a mosque. “The land of the mosque belongs to Allah and under the Sharia, it cannot be given to anybody,” AIMPLB secretary Zafaryab Jilani told reporters after a meeting of the Board in Lucknow. The Supreme Court, in its verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title case on November 9, said the entire 2.77 acres of disputed land should be handed over to the deity Ram Lalla, who was one of the three litigants.
