Ram Mandir and Babri Masjid Verdict: Security beefed up in Ayodhya as SC paves way for construction of temple via a govt monitored trust. See pictures

SUMMARY

Five-judge bench of the Supreme Court formed to resolve the Ayodhya dispute paved the way to build a temple through central government-monitored trust and ruled that Muslims must get alternate land to build a mosque. The court has given the central government 3 months to formulate a scheme for the trust that will make necessary regulations for the management of the trust. The court said that until the trust takes over it, the possession of the property shall continue to be with the receiver.
