Ayodhya land to be divided into 3 parts

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court ruled that the disputed land in Ayodhya be divided into three parts and be given to the Sunni Wakf Board, Nirmohi Akhara and the group representing 'Ram Lalla'. The land should be divided equally among the three parties. However, the three-judge bench said that the Ayodhya land is essentially the Ram Janmashtami and that the part under the Central Dome is the birth place of the Lord Rama. The bench comprising of Justice Sibghat Ullah Khan, Justice Sudhir Agrawal and Justice Dharam Veer Sharma delivered the verdict in Lucknow. The High Court ruled that the land on which the idol of Lord Rama was installed belonged to the Hindus and should go to them. But, there will be status quo on the Ayodhya land for three months. The title suits of Sunni WAKF Board and the Nirmohi Akhara have been rejected. The Babri Committee and the Hindu Mahasabha are planning to move the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court's judgement.
