An effort for deferring the judgement in the 60-year-old title suit in the Ramjanambhoomi – Babri Masjid dispute was today rebuffed by the Allahabad High Court, which will now pronounce its verdict on the 24th of this month.A 3-judge Special Bench of the Court rejected a petition filed by one Ramesh Chandra Tripathi for deferring the judgement for working out an out-of-court amicable settlement of the issue saying there was no merit in the application.The Special Bench, comprising Justice S.U Khan, Justice D.V Sharma and Justice Sudhir Agarwal, decided to imposed a heavy fine which would be annunced later though Justice Agarwal proposed a fine of five lakh rupees. The judges asked the parties whether they were interested in going for any discussion for a compromise and none of them showed interest. Following this, the court rejected the petition for deferring the judgement.Tripathi, a defendent in the case, had filed the application for making another attempt to reach a solution to the dispute through reconciliation and deferment of the verdict.Objections were filed on Thursday by Sunni Central Board of Wakf and the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha before Court against any deferment of the verdict and with today's order they have become infructous.Meanwhile, The Communist Party of India (CPI) has urged the people across all sections to respect the Court's verdict on Babri Masjid and Ram Janam Bhoomi case which is expected on 24th of this month. In a release CPI has said that judicial process should be allowed to complete its process and grievance if any should be appealed in the Supreme court.
