Earlier, PM Modi, in a letter to the citizens, termed the day as a 'golden chapter' in the history of Indian democracy while pointing out that it was after several decades that the people of the country voted back a full term government with a full majority.
Prime Minister Modi said that in the last one year, some of the decisions were widely discussed and 'remain etched in public discourse' while referring to the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the Ayodhya verdict, doing away with Triple Talaq and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
The Supreme Court had granted the ownership of the 2.77 acres of disputed land in Ayodhya to the Hindus for the construction of a temple and ruled that the Muslims will get 5 acres of land at an alternative site.
The five-judge bench which will hear the review petitions will be headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and comprises of Ashok Bhushan, S.A. Nazeer, D.Y. Chandrachud and Sanjiv Khanna.
AIMPLB is also expected to file a review petition against the court's decision as its General Secretary said that the trust of Muslims has weakened after the court's decision.
The JuH did not rule out the possibility of going for a review of the Supreme Court verdict.
The Ayodhya verdict was passed by the apex court on November 9 and not a single leader of the ruling TMC in West Bengal, including Banerjee, who is party supremo, has come out with a reaction on it.
The third longest hearing in the top court was on the validity of Aadhaar scheme and had lasted for 38 days in the top court which came into existence in 1950.
'I consider myself to be privileged to have worked with Chief Justice Gogoi, whose grit, mettle and character are so strong that it is difficult to get anything wrong passed,' Justice Bobde said.
The apex court said that the run-up to the incident saw the posting of a police picket at the site on November 12, 1949, due to communal tensions.
