Do you know the basis of Ram Janmbhoomi Judgement of Supreme Court?
In my view, popular media, sensation loving media, has misled people. Archeological surveys etc are not the basis of the judgement.
Heart of the Judgement is in para 796, 797,798, 799 etc.
If people of one religion, believed certain place to be birth place of their God, and if there are lots of evidences that these people held these beliefs since hundreds and hundreds years, then existence of such belief becomes a fact. And this fact stands proved by many many undisputed evidences.
Then SC refers to various foreign judgements also where similar issues had arisen.
The approach of SC is altogether different then approach of High Court. In para 796 itself SC says the issues in these cases are unique.
The more you read it, the more you become amazed at the international principles of laws, which are not usually seen in normal property disputes.
It is classic judgement in jurisprudence and may be referred in future international cases of similar nature.
