Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Acquisition of Certain Area at Ayodhya Act, 1993, except for Sub-section (3) of Section 4, which was declared unconstitutional for abating pending suits without an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, violating the rule of law. The Court affirmed that a mosque does not have greater immunity from acquisition than places of worship of other religions under secular law. The pending suits regarding the disputed area were revived for adjudication, ensuring judicial remedies are available.
