Muslim panel discusses Ayodhya verdict
October 16th, 2010 - 3:54 pm ICT by IANSLucknow, Oct 16 (IANS) Should the Ayodhya dispute be taken to the Supreme Court or not? The All India Muslim Personal Law Board met here Saturday to discuss the issue.
The closed-door gathering of the 51-member executive began around 11 a.m. at the Darul-Uloom, Nawa-tul-Ulema, popularly known as Nadwa here.
Chaired by Maulana Rabe Hasan Nadwi, the rector of the Nadwa, the meeting was reportedly attended by prominent Islamic scholars and clerics from different parts of the country.
The meet follows the Sep 30 verdict of the Allahabad High Court that decided to divide the disputed 90 ft x 120 ft plot of land in Ayodhya into three equal parts - two to two separate Hindu parties involved in the case and one to the Sunni Central Waqf Board, representing Muslims.
Saturday’s meeting is understood to have taken into account several initiatives taken by both Islamic and Hindu leaders for an out-of court amicable settlement instead of taking the legal battle to the highest court of the land.
Earlier, the Sunni Central Waqf Board had resolved to appeal against the order of the high court.
However, since the All India Muslim Personal Law Board is the highest decision making body regarding religious rights of Muslims in the country, the final decision on the issue was left to the board.
