SC to decide on course of Ayodhya hearing on Jan 10

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Friday said that an appropriate bench constituted by it would pass an order on January 10 for fixing the date of hearing in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute title case.

"An appropriate bench will pass further orders on January 10 for fixing the date for hearing the matter," a bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S K Kaul said.

No sooner the matter came up; the CJI said it is the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case and went ahead with passing the order.

Senior advocates Harish Salve and Rajeev Dhawan, appearing for different parties, did not even get the opportunity to make any submission.

The hearing did not even last 30 seconds.

Now, a three-member bench will be set up for taking forward the Ayodhya land dispute case in which as many as 14 appeals were filed against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgement. See P6
