Muslims to get alternate land. Wrong committed must be limited since the Babri mosque was brought down: SC

There is no evidence that Muslims abandoned mosque.Hindus always believed birthplace of Lord Ram was in inner courtyard of mosque. Clearly established that Muslims offered prayer inside inner courtyard&Hindus offered prayers in outer courtyard, says SC

The outer courtyard became a focal point of worshipping by Hindus Riots of 1934 indicate that the possession of inner courtyard became a matter of serious contention Muslims have not been able to establish possessory title to inner courtyard, Supreme Court.

From documentary evidence it emerges that prior to 1857, there was no exclusion of Hindus from worshipping at the site, Supreme Court.

There is evidence that Ram Chabutra, Sita Rasoi was worshipped by the Hindus before the British came. Evidence in the records shows that Hindus were in the possession of outer court of the disputed land, says Supreme Court

After the underlying struture was built, there was an intervening period of 400 years. And it has not been proved that the underlying structure was a temple, says Supreme Court

Title should be decided based on evidence in a court of law. Title cannot be established based on faith and belief, SC.

Finding of title cannot be based only on Expert report of ASI, says Supreme Court. Title to the land should be decided based on settled legal principles, says Supreme Court.

“ASI has not found any evidence to show that the pillars found in the mosque had any thing to do with the underlying structure. They have not answered if a Hindu temple was demolished to make way for a Mosque,”Supreme Court

There is adequate material in ASI report to conclude the following: Babri Masjid not constructed on vacant land. There was a structure underlying the disputed structure. The underlying structure was not an Islamic structure, Supreme Court.

“The nature of the excavated items could lead to the conclusion that a temple was there below but the ASI does not ascertain it”

Archeology is a practice but not a matter of deduction, but to reject it would be against the discipline

The claim of Nirmohi Akhara is only of management. Nirmohi Akhara is not a Shabait, rules Supreme Court

"Court should preserve balance", Supreme Court. "Mosque built by Mir Baqi on order of Babur". "Idols were placed in the mosque in 1949", says Supreme Court

Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi says, We have dismissed the Special Leave Petition(SLP) filed by Shia Waqf Board challenging the order of 1946 Faizabad Court

The law must stand apart from political contentions. The law must preserve balance and the freedom of one must not infringe that of others. Pleadings in suit 5, the plaintiffs also agree that Babur built the mosque. The idols of Lord Ram was placed inside the mosque of Dec 22 1949 intervening night
