CJI Chandrachud prayed to God for Ram Mandir- Babri masjid solution
Dhananjay Chandrachud said on Saturday that he sat before God (in his home) and asked him to find a solution to the vexed Ram Janmabhoomi- Babri Masjid dispute when the case came up before a bench led by Justice Ranjan Gogoi in which Chandrachud was one of the justices.
The other members of the bench were Justices S A Bobde, Ashok Bhushan and SA Nazeer.
Speaking in an event where he was felicitated by villagers of his native village Kanesar in Pune, Chandrachud said, “I became the Chief justice… Many times it happens that we get cases and what is the way out of it, we don’t get a solution. In Ayodhya (Ramjanmabhoomi- Babri Masjid case) when it came before me, for three months, we were thinking about the Ayodhya case, meaning for hundreds of years for which there was no solution. At that time in my regular life, I have been worshipping God in my home and at that time I sat before God and I told him that he should find a solution for this and you will believe this if you have faith then God will always find a way for us”said Chandrachud who is set to retire on November 10.
The Ram janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute that was pending since 1822 finally ended when the Supreme Court ordered on 9th November that the 2.77 acres will be handed over to a trust to build the Ram Temple.
The court also ordered the government to give an alternative 5 acres of land in another place to the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board for building another mosque to replace the Babri Masjid that was demolished in 1992.
