Patna: Union Minister for Law and Justice Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday disapprove of the slow pace of hearing on the Ayodhya title suit in the Supreme Court, and appealed to it for an “expeditious decision” as had been done in the matters related to adultery and Sabarimala temple. Prasad qualified his views with the remark that he spoke as a citizen and not as the law minister.
His remarks came a day after the Supreme Court Sunday cancelled the January 29 hearing in the politically sensitive Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid land title dispute case as one member of the five-judge Constitution bench would not be available.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh minister Shrikant Sharma said people who trust the judicial system are hurt with the delay in the hearing of the Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid land title dispute case. The state energy minister said the verdict should come so that those vitiating the atmosphere and playing politics on the matter are exposed.
