Every final judgment may not necessarily be right and just

Hindustan Times  

The judgment delivered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid civil dispute in Ayodhya has given finality to the dispute over 1480 sq yds of land. Devotees touch bricks with 'Shri Ram' embossed and engraved on them during a visit to the Ram Janm Bhoomi Nyas workshop at Karsevak Puram on the day of the Supreme Court verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi Babri Masjid case, at Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The Hon’ble Court accepted the contentions — Muslims offering namaz in the Babri mosque till 1949; idols being placed inside the Mosque in 1949; the demolition of the Mosque that stood for 464 years, in 1992, being a gross violation of Rule of Law; faith/belief and archaeological evidence cannot be the basis to decide title; the place of birth i.e. As the dispute before the Hon’ble Court was confined to 1480 square yards, there was no occasion for the court to grant five acres land for the mosque.
