Ayodhya case: Sunni Central Waqf Board tells Supreme Court that it owns the land

As the Ayodhya land title dispute case enters its final leg, the Sunni Central Waqf Board, one of the parties in the case, on Monday told the Supreme Court that it possesses the impugned land.

"We have been in possession throughout. There is nothing to suggest or show that the plaintiff (Nirmohi Akahara and others) are the proprietor of the disputed land in question," Rajeev Dhavan, representing the Waqf board told the five-judge constitution bench.

The counsel said that there is no proof by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to ascertain that a temple was destroyed to build the mosque at the impugned site.
