Won’t challenge ruling: UP Sunni Waqf Board

“We welcome the Supreme Court verdict in the case. The Board has no plans to challenge it,” he said. “As of now, the verdict is being studied thoroughly, after which the Board will issue a detailed statement. “If any lawyer or any other person says the decision will be challenged by the Board, it should not be taken as correct,” Farooqui said.

He said, “I, as a chairman of the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, want to make it clear that the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board will not go in for any review of the apex court’s order or file any curative petition, hence any statement in this regard by any individual, lawyer or an organisation which mentions that the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board will go in for a review is not our line.”

Expressing dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court verdict that cleared the way for the construction of a Ram Temple, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Saturday said it was contemplating seeking a review of the judgment, even as it appealed to people to maintain peace and amity.

Addressing a press conference AIMPLB Secretary Zafaryab Jilani said, “We are dissatisfied with certain findings of the Supreme Court.... We respect the Supreme Court verdict and respectfully disagree with certain aspects of it.”
