Its been almost a month since SC’s verdict over the Ram Janmabhoomi title suit was pronounced on November 9, but the litigants are yet to come to terms with the judgement.

The Hindu Mahasabha has today decided to file a review petition against the judgement wherein the apex court also granted 5 acres of land at an alternate site at a prominent location in Ayodhya to the Sunni Waqf Board to rebuild the Masjid which was demolished in 1992.

Moreover, the Peace Party of India is also set to file a petition to review the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Ayodhya land dispute case. The party’s National President Dr Muhammad Ayub is likely to file the review petition in Supreme Court on Friday.

According to sources, a total of four petitioners, assisted by All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), are likely to file a review petition in the matter. December 6, has been chosen for filing of the petition because it would the anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition, sources said.

Meanwhile, Maulana Syed Ashhad Rashidi, the president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind had also filed a review petition against the Ayodhya Verdict that had awarded the ownership of the Ram Janmabhoomi to the Hindu side on December 2.

Since the Apex Court’s verdict was out on November 9, the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind (JuH), a key Muslim litigant in the Ayodhya title suit has made such flip-flops several times.
