On Wednesday, Supreme Court asked BJP leader Subramanian Swamy to move his plea of seeking execution of his fundamental right to pray at the conflicted site in Ayodhya afterwards.

The bench headed by CJI Dipak Misra, constituting of Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, asked Swamy to move his plea after the court has announced its verdict on the issue of whether mosques are essential to Islam.

Swamy took to Twitter to inform about SC’s decision. He tweeted, “Today SC heard me briefly on the urgency to list my WP on Ram Temple. The court said that after the judgment on whether to re-examine the earlier settled view (of Mosque not being an essential part of Islam) is given, I can ask for a date. Fair enough.”

M Siddiq had challenged the verdict of 1994 in the case of M Ismail Faruqui which declared that mosques are not an integral part of Islam.

On July 20, the apex court ‘reserved its order on a plea by several Muslim groups on the Ram Janmbhoomi- Babri Masjid title dispute’ asking the court to reconsider its 1994 verdict which announced that mosques are not essential to Islam.

SC is dealing with 14 appeals made against the 2010 judgment of Allahabad High Court where the court ordered to divide the disputed land equally among the three involved parties– Ram Lalla, the Sunni Waqf Board and the Nirmohi Akhara.
