NewDelhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said that it will soon decide on early hearing of batch of petitions including cross appeals in the Ram Temple Babri Masjid land dispute case.
According to ANI, the apex court passed the order while responding to a petition by BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy.
Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid matter could be taken up as soon as possible, the apex court said.
“We are going to list the main matter soon. We will take a decision on it,” the court bench of chief justice JS Khehar and Justice DY Chandrachud said.
Through his petition, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy had sought an urgent hearing in the case.
The apex court had in March this year refused to give an early hearing to the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, on Swamy’s plea.
In its March 21 order, the apex court said that fresh attempts must be made by all parties to end the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute through a negotiated settlement.
Chief Justice Khehar also said that he was ready to sit down as principal negotiator with the mediators chosen by parties to settle the disputes between Hindus and Muslims over the nearly century-old issue.
The dispute issue has been pending since 2010 in the Supreme Court.
The apex court’s observation came after the Allahabad High Court in its 2010 judgement ruled for a three-way division of the disputed area.
