The Supreme Court has accepted the three-member mediation panel’s request and given it time till August 15 to come up with an amicable and lasting solution to the Ayodhya land dispute case.

A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said they had received the report from Justice Kalifulla in which the panel had sought extension of time till August 15 to complete the mediation proceedings.

The Supreme Court, however, said it is satisfied with the way committee is proceeding. The mediation committee comprising former SC judge FMI Kalifulla, spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar and senior advocate Sriram Panchu, a renowned mediato Upload Imager, was constituted by the apex court on March 8.
