Indian Muslim groups say they'll file a petition in the top court asking for a review of a ruling that awarded a razed mosque site to Hindus, allowing them to build a temple there
The site, where in 1528 a mosque was built by an associate of the Mughal emperor Babur, has been the centre of a bitter dispute between India's majority Hindus and Muslims, who make up about 14 percent of the population, since Indian independence.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board and the Muslim scholar organisation Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind said they would contest the judgment. Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Arshad Madani told reporters that "it is not a prestige issue. This is a matter of Sharia . We can neither give the mosque nor take anything in lieu of it", local News18 network reported.The Supreme Court ruled the holy site in Ayodhya, where Hindu mobs destroyed a 460-year-old Babri mosque in 1992, must be managed by a trust to oversee the construction of a Hindu temple.
AIMPLB added that "on behalf of the Muslim community, we decline to accept the... land" awarded by the court, the Press Trust of India reported.
