A body of top Islamic clerics of India has decided\u00a0 to file a review petition against the Supreme Court verdict on the Babri Mosque, local media reported.<\/p>\n
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board, a private body of intellectuals and organisations working to protect Muslims in India , said\u00a0 it would seek a review of the judgement, which rejected Muslim claims over the land.<\/p>\n
The All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) decided to refuse the 5-acre alternative plot of land that the Supreme Court asked the government to allot for a mosque.<\/p>\n
On Nov. 9, the Supreme court of India ruled that the historical site of early 16th century Babri Mosque should be handed over to Hindus for the construction of Ram Temple.<\/p>\n
The apex court also ruled that a \u201csuitable plot\u201d of land measuring 5 acres would be allotted to the Sunni Waqf Board either by the central government or provincial government to construct a mosque.<\/p>\n
“There are apparent errors in the Supreme Court judgement, and we felt that it would be prudent to file a review petition,” Syed Qasim Ilyas, a member of the group, told a press briefing.<\/p>\n
The main Muslim litigant in the case, the Sunni Waqf Board, has declined to file a review petition saying it respected the verdict.<\/p>\n
A meeting of the AIMPLB was organized in Lucknow, northern India, with different Muslim parties to discuss whether to go for a review of the court\u2019s judgement in the Babri Mosque case.<\/p>\n
The site in Hindu-majority Ayodhya has been the centre of a bitter dispute between India’s majority Hindus and Muslims, who make up about 14 percent of the population, since Indian independence.<\/p>\n
Built in 1528 under the rule of first Mughal emperor Babur, the grand mosque along with a land of 2.77 acres in India\u2019s central province of Uttar Pradesh was demolished by a group of radical Hindus in 1992. Hindus claimed one of their gods, Lord Ram, was born at the site of the mosque.<\/p>\n
