Two orders of the Supreme Court in the last three years, both related to the Ayodhya dispute but in entirely different matters, pointed to the charge of conspiracy behind the demolition of the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992.
On November 9, 2019, the more recent of the two orders, a Constitution Bench, while awarding the title suit to the Hindu parties and directing that the disputed land be handed over to a trust for construction of a Ram temple, called the destruction of the Babri Masjid a “calculated act” and “an egregious violation of the rule of law”.
