"Every single time, it was found that it was the Hindu Side which did something contrary to the RULE OF LAW.", Justice Nariman further said on the Ayodhya dispute
Retired Supreme Court judge, Justice Rohinton Nariman yesterday delivered the Ahmadi Foundation Inaugural Lecture.
The lecture on the topic Secularism and the Indian Constitution started with a detailed outline of the provisions under the Constitution which fortify the principles of secularism.
Moving on to actual implementation, Justice Nariman took up the example of the Ayodhya verdict. The Supreme Court's five-judge bench in 2019 had delivered the Ayodhya Verdict in 2019, in favour of the construction of the Ram Mandir.
Justice Nariman called the Ayodhya judgment to be a very curious judgment. "Nobody knows who the author was..", he added.
The retire judge also referred to Supreme Court's finding that there was no RAM TEMPLE under the structure which remained after demolition of the Babri Masjid.
Referring to the 2003 Report of the Archeological Survey of India, Justice Nariman further explained that the ASI found artefacts belonging to different groups, including Shaivaite, Buddhist and Jain.
On the Supreme Court's finding that inner courtyard of Babri Masjid was not in exclusive possession of the Muslims, Justice Nariman added, "Supreme Court jumped to the conclusion that composite whole of the Babri Masjid belonged to the Hindus...".
Justice Nariman further observed it being a great TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE that secularism was not given its due at all in the Ayodhya Ram Mandir judgment.
