The Ayodhya hearing on the 'Ram Mandir' issue has finally come to a close. As per reports, the decision on the case will be out within 23 days, after the Supreme Court reserved its Judgment in regards to the case.
The verdict in the case - which has dominated politics and the headlines for decades - is expected to come before November 17, before the retirement of CJI Ranjan Gogoi.
On the last day of hearing,there was drama everywhere as the lawyer representing the Muslim petitioners, tore up a pictorial map showing the Ram Janmasthan after asking the court's permission as he contended that it could not be submitted as evidence since the court had earlier refused to accept it. At one point of time, the CJI even threatened to walk out due to the ruckus in the Courtroom.
The five-judge Constitution began day-to-day proceedings on August 6 after mediation proceedings failed to find an amicable solution to the dispute. On Monday, the Supreme Court resumed daily hearings after a week-long Dussehra break.
