LUCKNOW: Whatever will be the decision of the courts, crores of Hindus will accept only a grand Ram Mandir at the disputed site, said former UP chief minister and president of the Jan Kranti Party Kalyan Singh in a statement issued here on Monday.



Dubbing as a mere `drama', the proposal to settle the Ayodhya issue through reconciliation, Kalyan Singh alleged that the Congress while welcoming the deferment of the verdict by the Supreme Court proved that it was in favour of delaying the judgment to serve its political gains.



Claiming that a solution to the problem was also not possible through negotiations, the former BJP leader said that several such attempts were made in the past but to no avail. "It is clear that on this issue which is based on faith and belief, courts cannot find a universally acceptable solution," he said.



Reiterating his earlier stand that there were only two options to solve the issue, he said that it could be either with Muslims giving up their claim over the land or through a law enacted by parliament like the one done in the Shah Bano case.

LUCKNOW: For those who thought that the Ayodhya title suit was only about whether a temple or a mosque existed at the disputed site, here is something more: It is possible that both the sides might fail to establish their claim on the property.



So what happens in case both the sides fail to establish their ownership over the disputed site? In such a situation, one of the possibilities are that the property rights may be vested in the state government.



Though the law provides for a limited scope in terms of jurisdiction of court in adjudication of civil suits, the special Lucknow Bench of Allahabad high court on Ayodhya title suit can go ahead under article 226 of the Indian Constitution, which provides for the authority to vest the property in question in the state government.



The legal battle related to the Ayodhya case as on date comprises four suits and two writ petitions clubbed together as Ayodhya title suit.



The first suit was filed before the Civil Court, Faizabad in 1959, by Nirmohi Akhara and Others versus Babu Priyadutt Ram and Others. It was in 1961 that the second suit was filed before the Faizabad civil court by Sunni Central Waqf Board and Others versus Gopal Singh and Others.



The third suit too was filed before the Faizabad civil court in 1989 by Bhagwan Sriram Virajmaan and Others versus Rajendra Singh and Others. The fourth and the last suit was filed by Gopal Singh Visharad and Others versus Zahoor Ahmed and Others.



In 1986, two writ petitions were preferred. One was filed by Mohd Hashim versus District Judge Faizabad and Others. The second one was filed by Sunni Central Board of Waqf versus District Judge Faizabad and Others.
