The five judges of the Supreme Court who delivered the verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute case in 2019 have been invited for the Ram temple Pran Pratishta ceremony on January 22.
It was on November 9, 2019 when the Bench of five judges, headed by then Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, former CJI S.A. Bobde, present CJI D.Y. Chandrachud, Justices (retired) Ashok Bhushan and S. Abdul Nazeer had delivered the verdict in which the dispute site was handed over to the Hindus, despite the court agreeing with all arguments of Muslims claiming right over then disputed land.
The Bench also maintained that Muslims were deprived of their 450-year-old mosque and ordered the government to allot a “prominent and suitable” five-acre plot for them to build a mosque in Ayodhya.
