The Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha has filed a caveat in the Supreme Court seeking to ensure that no ex-parte order is passed on appeals to be filed against the Allahabad High Court verdict in the Ayodhya title suits case.

The Mahasabha has filed the caveat through its national president Swami Chakrapani.

General secretary Indira Tiwari said the Mahasabha was not in favour of any compromise on the issue and wanted only a legal solution from the Supreme Court. A petition in this regard would be filed. She said the Mahasabha was in favour of constructing a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya.

The Sunni Central Waqf Board has decided to file an appeal against the September 30 High Court verdict. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has indicated that it would file an application as an intervener in the appeal.
