New Delhi: Prominent Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind on Wednesday said the Supreme Court's decision in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case will be adequate to it, and appealed to Muslims to respect the decision.
Jamiat President Maulana Arshad Madani declared that Muslims' claim in the case is based on historical facts and evidence that the Babri Masjid was constructed without demolishing any temple or any other place of worship.
At a press conference here, he called all citizens to maintain peace irrespective of the nature of the decision.
The Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case is not only a case of land dispute, but a test case of the supremacy of the law, he was quoted as saying by a statement issued by Jamiat.
"Every justice-loving individuals wants the case should be adjudicated on the basis of hard facts and proof, not on the basis of faith and belief," he stated, adding that the Supreme Court has also stated that it is a title suit case only.
"We reiterate our old stand that whatever the judgment Supreme Court will convey based on certainties and proof, we will acknowledge it and we also request to Muslims and fellow citizens to respect the SC judgment," he said.
The apex court is expected to give its ruling in the emotive and politically-sensitive Ayodhya case before November 17 as Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, who is heading the Constitution bench in the issue, demits office that day.
