Ayodhya Verdict: Govt Sets Up New Desk To Look After Matters Related To Supreme Court Judgment

The Narendra Modi government has set up a new desk to look after all matters related to the Supreme Court verdict in Ayodhya land dispute case, according to an official order. The desk is headed by Additional Secretary Gynesh Kumar. In the official order, the Union Home Ministry said that the matters related to Ayodhya case and court judgements will be handled by three officers, headed by Kumar.

A five-judge bench, headed by the then Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, had in a unanimous verdict on November 9 decreed the entire 2.77 acre disputed land in favour of deity 'Ram Lalla' and also directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque in Ayodhya. The top court had directed that a trust should be formed within three months for the construction of temple at the site many Hindus believe Lord Ram was born and asked the Centre to grant representation in the trust to Nirmohi Akhara.

The Supreme Court had also a batch of petitions seeking review of its verdict.
