Ayodhya Case LIVE: Supreme Court directs to complete mediation process within 8 weeks

A five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court will shortly pronounce the verdict on whether to send the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case for court-appointed and monitored mediation for a 'permanent solution'. Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi-led five-judge Constitution Bench on Wednesday had reserved the order after hearing various contesting parties.

The bench also includes Justice SA Bobde, Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice S Abdul Nazeer.
