“The main contention in the case was that the mosque was built by destructing a temple. The court said that there was no evidence that the mosque was built after destructing a temple, the title of Muslims, therefore, was proven, but the final verdict was the opposite,” Madani told the Press Trust of India.
“The court has given us the right and the review must be filed,” he added.
“This Hon’ble Court erred in granting a relief which virtually amounts to a mandamus to destroy the Babri Masjid. This Hon’ble Court erred in rewarding the crimes committed in 1934, 1949 and 1992, by giving the title to the Hindu parties, when it had already ruled that the said acts were illegal,” stated the 217-page petition.
On November 9, a five judges bench headed by former Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi gave verdict on the 134-year-old religious and political sensitive land dispute.
