Lucknow, November 26: The Sunni Central Waqf Board on Tuesday decided that it would not file a review petition against the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, its chairman Zufar Farooqi said.

The important meeting of the board, attended by seven of the eight members, decided not to file the review petition, he said.The members present were of the view that the review petition should not be filed, Farooqi said.

He said the board was yet to decide whether to accept a five-acre land given by the apex court for building a mosque in Ayodhya.

The members felt that they needed more time to decide and also ensure that it is appropriate as per the Shariat, Farooqi said.

The Supreme Court, in its verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title case on November 9, had said that the entire 2.77 acres of disputed land should be handed over to the deity Ram Lalla, who was one of the three litigants in the case. PTI
