Ram Janmabhoomi Temple

On 30 September 2010, Allahabad High Court ruled that the disputed site, with an area of 2,400 square feet (220 m2), on which the Babri Masjid had stood prior to its demolition on 6 December 1992, should be divided into three parts. The ruling stated that the third of the site on which the idol of Rama was placed would be granted to the party stating that it represented Rama. Another third of the site would be granted to the Sunni Wakf Board, and the remaining third to the Hindu sect Nirmohi Akhara. The verdict was appealed in the Supreme Court of India. In an order dated 27 Jan 2013, the court stated that the status quo should be maintained at the disputed site, while the appeals were dealt with.
