New Delhi: The Sunni Wakf Board today filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court, urging the apex court not to defer the pending Allahabad High Court verdict on Babri Masjid title suit as the matter cannot be sorted out through reconciliation.
Meanwhile, Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has put his weight behind amicable solution by saying that contesting parties to the title suit have to resolve the issue through discussions or accept the court verdict.
“The two contesting parties who filed the Ayodhya title suit have to resolve the matter among themselves through discussions. If it was not possible, then the court verdict has to be accepted,” Mukherjee has been quoted as saying.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia will on September 28 decide the fate of the special leave petition seeking deferment of the Allahabad High Court verdict on the title suit.
A two-judge bench of the apex court had on September 23 stayed for a week the High Court verdict on a petition by a retired bureaucrat Ramesh Chand Tripathi seeking its deferment to explore the possibility of an out-of-court settlement. The Allahabad High Court verdict was scheduled to be announced on September 24.
