The Sunni Central Waqf Board is likely to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court on Tuesday challenging the Allahabad High Court in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit verdict. Advocate Zafaryab Jilani, who is appearing for the board, said the petition argues that the High Court verdict is based on faith rather than documentary evidence on where Lord Ram was born.
Advocate Jilani appeared for the Board in the Allahabad High Court. He said that the Waqf Board is one of the original litigants in the four suits since 1941.
The petition will argue that the judgment violates the fundamental principles under Articles 25 and 26 — freedom to practice religion of choice.
On December 11, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court extended the stay on implementation of its verdict on the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi title suit by 45 days till February 15, 2011. According to the verdict, the 13,450-sq-ft plot in Ayodhya on which the disputed structure stood was to be divided into three equal parts among the three main petitioners - the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board, Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla Virajman (idol of baby Ram).
