On the 27th anniversary of demolition of Babri Masjid, as many as six petitions were filed in the Supreme Court on Friday seeking review of its November verdict by which the disputed site went to Ram Lalla, paving way for the construction of a Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

Review petitioners Maulana Mufti Hasbullah, Moulana Mahfoozur Rehman, Mishbahuddin, Mohd Umar and Haji Nahboob—all supported by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and Mohammad Ayub contended that the November 9 judgment by a five-judge Bench was full of contradictions.

“At the outset, it must be stated that the purpose of this review petition is not to disturb the peace of this great nation but in the spirit that any peace must be conducive to justice. In respect of this case, Muslims have always maintained the peace but Muslims and their properties have been victim of violence and unfairness treatment. This review is part of a quest for justice,” read one of the review petitions.

The first review petition in the matter was filed in the top court by Maulana Syed Ashhad Rashidi, legal heir of original litigant M Siddiq and also the Uttar Pradesh president of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind on December 2. He contended that “complete justice” could only be done by ordering reconstruction of the Babri Masjid.

While key litigant, Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Wakf Board, decided against challenging the verdict, Maulana Syed Ashhad Rashidi has sought review of the verdict on 14 counts.

The five-judge bench headed by then CJI Ranjan Gogoi, Justice SA Bobde, Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice S Abdul Nazeer had on November 9 given the 2.77-acre disputed land to Ram Lalla. It had given five acre land to Muslims at an alternative site at Ayodhya for construction of a new mosque.

In his review plea which was filed on Friday, Maulana Mufti Hasbullah said the top court should reconsider the “grave injustice” to a community in a title suit.

“Title could not have been given to Hindu parties on the basis of exclusive possession of entire site which never existed at any point in time with the Hindus since it is admitted that Muslims entered and prayed at the site till December 1949, and later prevented from doing so because of the attachment while unfairly permitting Hindu worship following criminal trespass,” Hasbullah said in his plea.
