Ayodhya: SC to hear Centre's plea on March 6

By J. Venkatesan

NEW DELHI March 3. A five-Judge Constitution Bench headed by Justice S. Rajendra Babu will hear on March 6 the Centre's plea for early hearing and vacation of the stay on religious activity of any kind in the 67.703 acres of the undisputed land in Ayodhya.

The other members of the Bench constituted by the Chief Justice V.N. Khare are: Justice S.S.M. Quadri, Justice M.B. Shah, Justice Santosh N. Hegde and Justice Doraiswamy Raju.

The five-Judge Bench will also take up for hearing the main petition filed by Mohd. Aslam Bhure to place the 67.703 acres of `undisputed' land in Ayodhya under the control of the Army and seeking `status quo' till the dispute on the title suits were decided by the Allahabad High court.

The Centre has submitted that the matter brooked no delay, as the uncertainty prevailing on the acquired land was not in the public interest.

The Uttar Pradesh Government has supported the Centre's stand for early hearing of the petition and the application for vacating the stay. However, Mohd. Aslam Bhure and other parties in the case have opposed the Centre's application.
