Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while considering the appeals related to the Ayodhya dispute, noted the necessity of re-evaluating the Constitution Bench judgment in Dr. M. Ismail Faruqui and Ors. Vs. Union of India, (1994) 6 SCC 360. The Court acknowledged the historical significance of the site and the ongoing legal complexities surrounding it, ultimately deciding to refer the matter to a larger bench for further deliberation. This decision underscores the importance of thorough judicial review in cases involving sensitive religious and historical contexts.
