Chief Justice to preside over Ayodhya petition on Tuesday

Sept 25 (FLS): The most awaited Ayodhya verdict which has been deferred by the Supreme Court till September 28 will now be heard by a three judge bench headed by the Chief Justice of India S H Kapadia. The other judges of the bench will be Justice Aftab Alam and Justice K S Radhakrishnan.

Showing the seriousness to the matter, the fate of the special leave petition seeking deferment of the Allahabad High Court verdict on Ayodhya, the bench consists of highly dignitary bench of the country. The matter is to be heard on September 28 and has been listed as the first item on the agenda at 10:30 am.

Earlier on Thursday, the Supreme Court listened to the petition filed by the formal bureaucrat Ramesh Chand Tripathi seeking deferment of the verdict till December 2010 in the wake of the crisis of the paramilitary forces to control any untoward incident that would have occurred following the pronouncement of the verdict.

The petition pleaded to defer the verdict because of the large deployment of the security forces in the commonwealth Games, Bihar election and Kashmir.

The Supreme Court on Thursday took decision in favour of Mr. Tripathi and passed the interim stay amidst sharp differences of opinion on the issue of staying the verdict between Justices RV Raveendran and Justices HL Gokhale.

The court had also asked Attorney General GE Vahanvati to be present and assist the court when the matter comes up on Tuesday.

The entire India is waiting eagerly for the result but that entirely depends on Tuesday judgement.
