Ayodhya Ram Mandir

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has initiated the process to setup the trust that will be handed the responsibility of constructing the Ram temple. Sources say a team of experts in the ministry is studying the legalities of the November 9 historic judgment of the Supreme Court in the Ayodhya dispute case.

According to sources, the MHA has already started with the process to form a trust, following the Supreme Court orders.

The Supreme Court on Saturday put an end to the 70-year legal battle over the disputed site in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid stood before its demolition in 1992. The five-judge SC bench led by CJI Ranjan Gogoi ruled in favour of Ram Lalla and said the entire disputed land spread over 2.7 acres will be handed over to a trust formed by the government, which will monitor the construction of a Ram temple at the site.

The court also said that the Sunni Waqf Board will be given an alternative five-acre plot in Ayodhya to build a mosque.

According to sources, a team of bureaucrats of the Ministry of Home Affairs is studying the 1,045-page judgment to setup this trust.

The ministry is also seeking legal opinion from the Attorney General and the law ministry.
