A period of 3-4 months is what the centre will get in order to formulate the scheme for setting up of a trust which will oversee the handing over of the disputed site to the Hindus for the construction of the temple. A suitable alternative plot of land measuring 5 acres at Ayodhya will also be finalised in this duration and it will be given to Sunni Wakf Board.
It was a unanimous verdict made by the 5-judge bench in the Supreme Court. The verdict came 9 years after the Allahabad High Court announced a three-way split into the case. The disputed 2.77 acres of land was divided among three parties – Ram Lalla, Sunni Waqf Board and the Nirmohi Akhara.
