Muslim group writes to Supreme Court CJ demanding restoration of Babri Mosque

Maulana Ather Ali of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board — which is one of the parties to the title case — demanded the same.

A Muslim group has written to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) demanding that the BABRI MASJID structure be restored at the disputed site where it once stood. The group — Indians for Justice — held a press conference at Marathi Patrakar Sangh for the same on Saturday.

"What we have asked the CJI is that the structure that once stood as on December 6, 1992 be restored by the same principle as the idol of RAMlalla was restored after the Babri Masjid demolition at the same site. The case of the title deed can go on in the meantime," said Farid Khan, convenor of the Indians for Justice which has written the letter to the CJI.

"The central government had passed a bill in 1947 that there will be status quo on all religious structures before 1947. So, there should have been a status quo in case of Babri too. The UP government had anyways given assurance to the SC that nothing will happen to it," said Maulana Shoaib Koti, one of the speakers.

Maulana Ather Ali of the ALL INDIA MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW BOARD — which is one of the parties to the title case — demanded the same.
