The Congress MP from Rajya Sabha, Abhishek Singhvi took to Twitter on Saturday to welcome Supreme Court’s verdict on the Ayodhya land dispute case and said that the verdict will close the doors for further “politicising” the issue. He also added that there is an under-appreciation of the fact that this verdict is unanimous in nature. However, he said that no judgement can satisfy everyone.

“A welcome verdict by the Supreme Court & shall lead to the finality of the issue. The very fact that it's a unanimous judgment is being under-appreciated. It's in itself a strong message. No judgment can satisfy everybody. The verdict will close the doors of politicising the issue. #Ayodhya"

Ayodhya verdict 

Pronouncing the landmark judgment in the Ayodhya dispute case, the Supreme Court on Saturday, delivered a unanimous judgment in the title suit of the disputed area awarding it to the Hindu parties for the construction of a temple. It also directed the Centre to come up with a scheme within three months to set up a trust which will hand over the outer courtyard and inner courtyard of the site for construction of a temple. Apart from this, the SC stated that an alternate land of 5 acres is to be allotted to Muslims for the liberty of constructing a mosque, either by the central govt or the State govt, in a suitable and prominent place in Ayodhya. CJI Ranjan Gogoi, while delivering the unanimous judgment, dismissed the claims of the Sunni Central Waqf Board and the Nirmohi Akhara. He also termed that the three-way division of the disputed land by the Allahabad HC in its 2010 verdict is wrong.

The five-judge bench that took the decision was constituted on January 25, 2019, to hear the long-contested Ayodhya dispute. As the case progressed after the Centre handed over disputed Ayodhya site to original owners, the bench created a 3-member mediation panel. On August 2, a day after the mediation panel submitted the report of mediation to the SC in a sealed cover, the SC stated that the mediation had failed and began day-to-day hearings - which ran for 40 days, along with a parallel mediation process continuing. The SC announced that it would wrap up the hearing on October 17 and announce its judgment by November 17. Finally, on October 16, the Supreme Court concluded its hearing, reserved its order and the mediation panel submitting its settlement report before the Supreme Court after the Sunni Waqf board surrendered its claim over the disputed land in Ayodhya.
