Ayodhya case hearing in Supreme Court to end today

| @indiablooms | Oct 16, 2019, at 10:58 am

New Delhi: Daily hearing in the highly politically-sensitive case- which pertains to whether Ram Temple can be built in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya- will conclude on Wednesday, media reports said.

The hearing will conclude by 5 pm.

The top court is likely to pass the verdict by Nov 17 when Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi will leave his office.

Section 144, which bars assembly of four or more people in an area, is already imposed in Ayodhya to avoid any untoward incident.

The Supreme Court resumed the day-to-day hearings on the case on Monday after a week-long Dussera holiday.

What happened in Ayodhya and why the case is significant?

In 1992, the disputed Babri Masjid structure was brought down by several right-wing volunteers who believe Lord Ram was born on that site.

On Sept 27 last year, the apex court had refused to re-visit its 1994 verdict which had stated mosque was not important for Muslims to offer prayers, paving way for the hearing of the Ayodhya case.
