A petition calling for a fresh settlement of the dispute in Ayodhya was submitted to Faizabad divisional commissioner with suggestions that both a temple and a mosque be built at the site, reported the Indian Express. It was signed by about 10,000 members from both Hindu and Muslim communities led by a former High Court judge, Palok Basu.
Basu said he hoped that the Supreme Court will take note of it:
Divisional Commissioner Surya Prakash Mishra has confirmed receiving the “memorandum”.
As per its 30 September 2010 ruling, the Allahabad High Court had awarded two parts of the site to Nirmohi Akhara and ‘friend’ of Ram Lalla and one part to Muslims, which went to Sunni Central Waqf Board of Uttar Pradesh.
A point to remember here would be that the main litigant in the Babri Masjid case, Hashim Ansari, had along with Akhara Parishad president Mahant Gyan Das discussed an out-of-court settlement accommodating both a mosque and a temple. Ansari died in July this year.
