The Supreme Court has sent the Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute to mediate. The process of arbitration will be initiated within a week. The Supreme Court has constituted a panel of three members for mediation, which will be headed by Justice Khalifullah. Apart from this, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Shriram Panchu are also included in the panel. The Supreme Court has said that the matter should not be reported. Courts have said that the three-member arbitration panel will have to submit their initial report in 4 weeks and submit its full report to the court in 8 weeks. Action will be in Faizabad (Ayodhya) and it will be confidential. On March 06, 2019, the Supreme Court reserved the judgment on this matter.
Along with this, a 5-member bench of the court asked the parties to suggest names for arbitration after hearing the arguments of all parties. In the previous hearing before the bench of five judges headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had said that it would not be right and prudent. Hindu parties including Uttar Pradesh also opposed the court's resolution. Senior advocate CS Vaidyanathan, appearing for Ram Lala, had also opposed the arbitration and told the Supreme Court that the birthplace of Lord Ram is a matter of belief and faith and they can not move forward in anti-mediated opinion in arbitration.
Under the chairmanship of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, the Supreme Court's five judges Constitutional Bench is hearing the Ayodhya case. In the constitutional bench hearing the case, besides CJI Ranjan Gogoi, Justice SA Bobde, Justice Dhananjay Y Chandrachud, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice S Abdul Nazir are also involved. During the hearing, Justice Bobde has said that in this case a panel should be formed for arbitration.
Earlier, during the hearing on February 26, 2018, the Supreme Court had agreed to resolve the dispute through mediator in its monitoring. The court had said that one percent is also expected, then there should be an attempt to resolve the matter through the arbitrator.
Mediation
Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process in which the parties, through the intervention of a third person, and without resorting to the court, settle their disputes. This is a method in which the dispute is placed in front of a nominated person, who after hearing both sides decides the matter in a semi-judicial way. The solution is the cordial settlement of disputes by the parties with the help of a solution resolver.
Earlier, on 27 September 2018, the three-member bench, headed by the then Chief Justice Deepak Mishra, sent the matter to a bench of five judges to consider fresh comments on the remarks made in a 1994 decision with a majority of 2-1 Had refused.
The hearing in the Supreme Court has also become important because Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said on 01 January 2019 that the question of decision about the ordinance will be raised only after the judicial process is completed in the case of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
