Sunni Waqf Board will NOT file review petition

November 09, 2019 16:23

Sunni Waqf Board lawyer Zafaryab Jilani said they will not file a review petition in the Ayodhya land dispute matter.

Jilani had said they are not satisfied with the Supreme Court verdict and would consider filing a review petition, after the Supreme Court ruled to give the disputed land in Ayodhya for a temple and five acres of alternate land to the Muslim litigants for a mosque.

While addressing the press Jilani said, "We will file a review petition if our committee agrees on it. It is our right and it is in the Supreme Court's rules as well."

The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi has said that the central government within 3-4 months should formulate a scheme for setting up a trust and hand over the disputed site to it for construction of a temple at the site.

It also added that an alternative five acres of land at a prominent location in Ayodhya should be allotted for the construction of the mosque following consultation between the center and state government.
