New Delhi: The Supreme Court may on Thursday take up the special leave petition (SLP) seeking a direction to the Allahabad High Court to postpone its verdict in the Ayodhya title suit on September 24.
The petition is expected to be taken up by a Bench headed by Chief Justice SH Kapadia. However, if the SLP is not heard today then it will become infructuous.
Yesterday, a Bench of Justices Altamas Kabir and AK Patnaik deferred hearing on the SLP. The Bench told senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi and counsel Sunil Kumar Jain that it did not have the determination to take up the matter.
When Mr Rohatgi explained the urgency, Justice Kabir said: “Being an appeal against an order in a civil suit, this Bench does not have the determination to take it up. It will be posted before an appropriate Bench.”
In his SLP, Ramesh Chandra Tripathi said that if the judgment was pronounced it might lead to communal riots in Uttar Pradesh as well as other parts of the country. “It is evident from the present-day situation as we see every day the entire Kashmir Valley is in continuous turmoil and witnessing deaths.”
He pleaded for postponement of the verdict keeping in mind the larger public interest and the security and safety of every individual. He apprehended that in the context of increasing communal and religious differences, certain vested interests might create rift among people on the lines of caste, creed and religion.
Is the petitioner suggesting that henceforth no court decisions ever be taken where the outcome may be violence? The whole logic of courts is to stymie any progress towards violence that an unresolved issue may entail. In any case, the final decision by an apex court is not a matter of satisfying both sides to a dispute or even any side to a dispute, but to end the matter by petitioners mandatorily abiding by the court verdict under the rule of law.
