An FIR was filed in 1858, 330 years after Mirbaki constructed the mosque, about doing havan and puja on the property. For the first time, the matter made it to court in 1885. The Supreme Court's ruling on November 9, 2019, brought an end to the 134-year legal fight.
On January 22, 2024, Ramlala's life will be dedicated in the Shri Ram temple located in Ayodhya, the city of Lord Ram. A lot of work is going into making this a memorable occasion. With the temple's opening, the Ram temple in Ayodhya will grow to become a significant hub of Hinduism for people living all over the world, including India.
A protracted legal struggle is the reason behind the huge Ram temple that is being built today. The construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya has been fraught with difficulties. Following the Babri issue, a protracted legal fight, and the supreme court's ruling, the temple's construction got underway. The citizens are currently awaiting January 22, 2024.
Now allow us to transport you back in time. The narrative begins in 1526. The year that Mughal emperor Babar visited India was this one. Babar's Subedar Mirbaki constructed a mosque in Ayodhya two years later. The location of this mosque and the birthplace of Lord Ram are the same. Mir Baqi gave this mosque the name Babri Masjid in honor of Babar. During this time, Mughal authority was expanding throughout the nation. Hindus had limited voice in this regard from 1528 until 1853, when the Mughals and Nawabs ruled over India. The Mughal and Nawabs' control began to wane in the 19th century. The British monopoly was now in place. Hindus brought up this matter at this time, claiming that a mosque had been constructed in its place and that the temple, where Lord Ram had been born, had been destroyed. Following this, the battle to reclaim Ramlala's birthplace began.
The demand for a Ram temple increased nationwide 330 years after the building of Babri Masjid, when the first FIR was filed.
When a FIR was initially filed in 1858, 330 years after Mirbaki constructed the mosque, the battle officially began. At that time, it was forbidden to do havan or puja on the property. Awadh police station officer Sheetal Dubey noted in his report on December 1, 1858, that a platform had been created in the complex, according to the book Ayodhya Revisited. This is the first official document containing proof of the Ram symbol's existence within the complex. Following this, a wire barrier was built, allowing Muslims and Hindus to pray and worship in the inner and outer areas of the disputed territory, respectively.
Matter reached court for Ram's permanent house
Twenty-seven years after the tragedy in 1858, the battle for Ram Janmabhoomi made its way to the courts in 1885. when Nirmohi Akhara's Mahant Raghubar Das filed a civil lawsuit in the Faizabad court disputing title. Das insisted on the concrete and roofing of the makeshift temple, which was erected on the Ram platform in the Babri structure's outer courtyard. The judge decided that while Hindus are free to worship there, they are not allowed to go against the District Magistrate's judgment and have the temple constructed concrete and roofed.
People urged the court to grant Ram Bhog's request, arguing that God is hungry.
Now that we have discussed lawsuits, let's return to the topic of legal disputes and discuss decisions. On February 1st, 1986, local counsel Umesh Pandey requested that the site's lock be opened, and Faizabad District Judge KM Pandey granted his request. The appeal against the ruling made by the Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench was turned down.
Two days after Babri's demolition, on December 8, 1992, Ayodhya was placed under curfew. In the High Court's Lucknow bench, attorney Harishankar Jain argued that God is starving. Ram Bhog need to be permitted. On January 1, 1993, around twenty-five days later, Judge Harinath Tilhari granted permission for devotion and darshan. A total of 67 acres of property, comprising the location of the structure and the land donated to the Trust by the Kalyan Singh Government, were bought by the Central Government on January 7, 1993.
The long-running dispute was finally put to an end by the court.
The Supreme Court started holding daily sessions on August 6, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the Supreme Court concluded the hearing and reserved a decision. The Supreme Court held hearings nonstop for forty days prior to this.
It was time for the ultimate decision in the 134-year-long battle to be made on November 9, 2019. On November 9, 2019, the Supreme Court determined that 2.77 acres of land belonged to Ramlala and recognized the location in question as Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. The Sunni Waqf Board and Nirmohi Akhara both had their applications denied at the same time. In addition, the court mandated that a representative of Nirmohi Akhara be included in a trust that the Central Government create within three months in order to proceed with the construction of the temple.In addition, the Uttar Pradesh government was directed to give the Muslim community five acres of land at an appropriate location so that a mosque could be built.
