Question

write a short paragraph on the verdict of supreme court on Ayodhya issue(in about 200-400 word)​

Answer 1

The landmark judgment in decades-old Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit is out. The case, in which the first petition was filed 69 years ago, was brought to a conclusion by a five-judge Supreme Court Constitution bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi. Other judges in the bench included CJI-designate Justice SA Bobde, Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice S Abdul Nazeer.

But, surprisingly, the author of 1024-page judgment remains a mystery. As per the tradition, the SC verdicts given by bench mention the name of the judge who penned the verdict.

But in this case, the SC bench has decided to depart from the norm and keep the identity of the judge hidden.

This is highly unusual and in a departure from convention. The established practice is to specify the name of the judge who has authored the judgment on behalf of a bench.

But the mystery does not end there. The last para of the main judgment says that while the judgment is unanimous, one of the judges in the bench has recorded separate reasons on: Whether the disputed structure is the birth-place of Lord Ram according to the faith and belief of the Hindu devotees. The reasons of the learned judge are set out in an addendum.

The author of this 116-page addendum has also chosen to remain anonymous.

The addendum explored ancient Hindu scriptures quoted in the court to establish that Hindu devotees have always worshipped at the disputed site and believed it to be Lord Ram's birthplace of Ram Janmabhoomi.
