Prayed To God To Find A Solution To Ayodhya-Babri Masjid Dispute : CJI DY Chandrachud

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud recently said that the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid dispute was a case which was difficult to adjudicate and he had to pray to God to find a solution.

CJI was addressing a gathering at Kanhersar village in Khed taluka.

"Very often we have cases but we don't arrive at a solution. Something similar happened during the Ayodhya (Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute) which was before me for three months. I sat before the deity and told him he needed to find a solution," the CJI said, as quoted by the Hindustan Times.

If you have faith and pray regularly, then God will find a way, CJI said.

Justice Chandrachud was part of the 5-judge bench which delivered the verdict in the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid case in November 2019. While finding that the placing of idols inside the Babri Masjid mosque and the destruction of the Masjid in 1992 were illegal acts, the Court allowed the construction of the Ram Temple at the site where the Masjid stood before it was demolished. As compensation for the unlawful destruction of the Masjid, the Court allotted 5 acres of land at an alternative site for the construction of a new mosque.
