Two judges of the Bench declared the disputed structure as a mosque, while the third judge said it couldn't be called a mosque as it built was against the tenets of Islam.
While Justice S U Khan and Justice Sudhir Agarwal were of the opinion that the disputed structure was a mosque, Justice D V Sharma ruled that it was built against the tenets of Islam and cannot have the character of a mosque.
The three-judge Bench gave their verdicts in the Ramjanmabhoomi Babri Masjid dispute ruling by a 2-1 majority
Justice Khan held that the disputed structure was constructed as mosque by or under orders of Mughal Emperor Babar.
"Disputed structure was always treated, considered and believed to be a mosque and practiced by Mohammedans for worship accordingly.
However, it has not even proved that it was built during the reign of Babar in 1528," Justice Agarwal said adding that it was difficult to hold as to when and by whom the structure was constructed.
Justice Sharma was of the opinion that the disputed building was constructed by Babar, the year is not certain but it was built against the tenets of Islam and hence it cannot have the character of a mosque.
The three-judge Bench yesterday gave their verdicts in the sixty-year-old legal Ramjanmabhoomi Babri Masjid dispute ruling by a 2-1 majority that disputed land in Ayodhya be divided into three parts among Hindus and Muslims.
