Will move SC,says Waqf Board

Sunni Waqf Board counsel Zafaryab Jilani on Thursday termed the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suits as disappointing.

Sunni Waqf Board counsel Zafaryab Jilani on Thursday termed the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suits as disappointing and said they would move the Supreme Court against the order.

We have three months,we will certainly move the Supreme Court, Jilani told reporters. He said the verdict was against the settled principles of law and evidence adduced by the Muslim side.

The court dismissed the Waqf Boards claim by a 2-1 majority.

We are of the firm view that no public resentment is required as the matter can be taken to the Supreme Court and there is no reason for any loss of hope in favour of the mosque, Jilani said,adding the majority decision to give Muslims one-third land was not acceptable to the Waqf Board.

He said they would examine the text of the judgment in detail and discuss the matter with the All India Muslim Personal law Board and the Babri Masjid Action Committee.

We hope that peace and tranquility will be maintained throughout the country and the issue will not be taken to the streets by anyone.

Asked about the scope of an amicable solution through reconciliation and mediation,he said the majority judgment directed that the mosque and temple can co-exist.

Jilani said they were not going to surrender the land. Such matters can be solved through courts. We will accept the final verdict of the Supreme Court, Jilani said.
