Want early solution to Ram Janmabhoomi dispute: Adityanath
New Delhi, Sep 27: Welcoming the Supreme Court decision rejecting a plea for referring the Ramjanmabhumi-Babri Masjid issue to a larger Constitution Bench, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said a solution to the dispute should be found at the earliest.
He said those interested in creating controversies and nuisance in the country were creating obstacles in the path of an early solution.
"A solution to the Ramjanmabhumi dispute should be found at the earliest as it is in the interest of the nation and is important for harmony and prosperity," he told reporters here.
The Supreme Court rejected a plea for referring the Ramjanmabhumi-Babri Masjid issue to a larger Constitution Bench and referred the case to a three-judge bench to be set up that will begin hearings from October 29.
Calling the apex court decision significant, he said: "We welcome it and hope the Supreme Court will give a verdict on the Ram Janmabhoomi matter soon."
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vinay Katiyar said the decision has paved the way for a speedy verdict on the main matter.
"Break has been put on appeals for higher benches... There's nothing left in the case to be discussed," he said.
"Our fight is not over temple or mosque. Our fight is over the birthplace of Ram. That's why we want that the verdict is delivered at the earliest so that construction of Ram Mandir can begin."
The bench was giving its verdict on petitions by some Muslims who had pleaded that the 2010 judgement of the Allahabad High Court splitting the title dispute into three parts be heard by a Constitution Bench as it involved reconsideration of a 1994 ruling by a five-judge bench of the apex court which had held that a mosque was not an essential part of Islam to offer namaz.

Man kills woman lecturer, sets car ablaze; dies by suicide in Karnataka
Bengaluru (PTI): A 46-year-old man allegedly killed a woman lecturer by setting fire to the car with her inside, before dying by suicide; his severed body was found by railway police the next day, police said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Ramanjinappa, a resident of Doddaballapura, was a contract worker in the tahsildar’s office, they said.
Police said the man, who was married and had apparently separated from his wife, was in an illicit relationship with a woman identified as Saroja, whose charred body was found inside a gutted car in an isolated area near the Bashetty Industrial Area in Doddaballapura taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
Saroja was also married and had a son, police said.
According to police, on Saturday, the man allegedly borrowed a car from an acquaintance, claiming he had a medical emergency and needed to visit a hospital.
Citing preliminary investigations, a senior police officer said the man picked up the lecturer from a bus stop in Devanahalli. The two spent a couple of hours driving around Nandi Hills and nearby areas.
Later, they reached a secluded spot in Doddaballapura, where it is suspected that an argument ensued inside the car, following which he allegedly hit her on the head with a hammer, the officer said.
He then set the car on fire, reportedly using petrol, and is believed to have died by suicide thereafter, police said.
Locals who saw the burning car alerted the police and fire department, who rushed to the spot, extinguished the fire, and found the woman’s body completely charred inside the vehicle, the officer added.
His severed body was found near railway tracks in Bidadi by the railway police on Sunday, he said.
The motive and whether the crime was premeditated or impulsive are under investigation, he said.
Saroja’s husband filed a complaint accusing Ramanjinappa of killing her, police said, adding that a detailed investigation is underway to establish the exact sequence of events.
