New Delhi: In a setback to BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, the Supreme Court on Friday refused urgent hearing in the Ayodhya land dispute case, questioning his locus standi and stated that Swamy had led the court “to believe that he was a party to the dispute."
Reacting to the Supreme Court observation, Swamy told CNN-News18, “I told the court that I am not party to this dispute. I told them that this matter should be listed for early hearing. They want an order by the SC… they have lost it in Allahabad. This property has belonged to us for 500 years."
On March 21, the top court had suggested an out-of-court settlement of the lingering dispute at Ayodhya, observing that issues of "religion and sentiments" can be best resolved through talks.
The BJP Parliamentarian had told the court that he had approached the Muslim community members who favoured judicial decision in the contentious matter.
The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court, in 2010, had ruled for a three-way division of the disputed 2.77 acres area at the site in Uttar Pradesh.
