TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Supreme Court is likely to hear the Babri Masjid-Ram Mandir case on Thursday (today). However, the Supreme Court, earlier during the week, had said that it would hear the matters after two weeks. According to reports, the court is likely to examine “whether to revive the conspiracy charges against senior BJP members, Lal Krishna Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti, Kalyan Singh and several others of the party in connection with the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case.
“This is starkly in contrast with the Supreme Court’s refusal to hold an early hearing on petitions challenging the 2010 Allahabad High Court verdict on the title suit of the disputed Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid site. Telling BJP leader Subramanian Swamy that there were too many things to do right now, the bench headed by Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar said that as of now it did not have time to hear the petitions.
The bench also told Swamy: “We came to know from the media that you are not a party in the matter.” Swamy told the court that his writ petition seeking an early hearing of the matter as his right to pray at the Ramlala temple at Ayodhya was being affected had been converted into an intervention application. Swamy had on 21 March urged the court to hold an early hearing of the matter as it was pending before it for last so many years. The top court had then said that the settlement of the Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute through negotiation was a better course than insisting on a judicial pronouncement.
