SC verdict on Ayodhya marks the culmination of 7-decade-old legal case
The judgment by the five-judge bench of the Supreme Court in the Ayodhya title dispute case marks the culmination of a seven-decade-old legal battle in the hugely sensitive case.
The legal case, revolving around the dispute over 2.77 acres of land in Ayodhya, dominated political discourse since the 1980s.
Hindu groups wanted control of the land, saying a temple existed there, but Muslim groups claimed there was no proof that a temple existed there.
