Clutch of petitions disposed

The judgment disposes of a clutch of petitions that had long contested the terms under which sides had been permitted to use the site. The two principal petitions — filed by Hindu Front for Justice and others, and Kuldeep Tiwari and others — had been allowed. Petitions filed by Maulana Kamaluddin Welfare Society, Qazi Zakullah and others, and Salek Chand Jain were dismissed.A separate petition filed by Antar Singh and others, which sought reliefs aimed at preventing conflict over the use of the site, was disposed of without being decided on merits, the court noting that the character of the disputed area had been determined.tnn
