An effort to defer the judgement in the 60-year-old title suit in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute was on Friday rebuffed by the Allahabad High Court, which will now pronounce its verdict on September 24.
A three-judge Special Bench of the Court rejected a petition (filed by one Ramesh Chandra Tripathi) seeking deferment of the judgement for working out an out-of-court amicable settlement of the issue saying there was no merit in the application.
The Special Bench, comprising Justice S.U. Khan , Justice D.V. Sharma and Justice Sudhir Agarwal, decided to imposed a heavy fine which would be announced later though Justice Agarwal proposed a fine of Rs. 5 lakh.
The judges asked the parties whether they were interested in going for any discussion for a compromise and none of them showed interest. Following this, the court rejected the petition for deferment of the judgement.
Mr. Tripathi, a defendent in the case, had filed the application for making another attempt to reach a solution to the dispute through reconciliation and deferment of the verdict.
Objections were filed on Thursday by Sunni Central Board of Wakf and the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha before the Court against any deferment of the verdict and with Friday’s order they have become infructous
