A day after the Supreme Court finished the marathon hearings of the age old Ayodhya land dispute case, the five judges of the Constitution bench will be sitting in their chambers on Thursday to discuss their views on the different arguments presented in the politically sensitive case.

The five judges, CJI Ranjan Gogoi along with SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and SA Nazeer, will be holding daylong discussions on the critical Ayodhya matter that the bench heard for 40 days straight.

It is expected that the judges will also take up the submissions given by the court-appointed mediation panel who submitted their report on Wednesday on the final day of the hearings.

The Supreme Court bench headed by CJI Gogoi has granted three days to contesting parties to file written notes on 'moulding of relief' or narrowing down the issues on which the court is required to adjudicate.

Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among the three parties -- the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
