The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) today decided to challenge the Allahabad High Court verdict in the Ayodhya title suits in the Supreme Court, saying there were a number of "infirmities" in the September 30 judgement.


The AIMPLB, however, said it was ready to consider any proposal for a negotiated settlement to the 60-year-old dispute if it was in keeping with the Constitution, Shariat and upholds the dignity of Muslims.

The Board''s executive committee, which met here to deliberate on the High Court verdict, said the judgement "suffered from a number of infirmities. It is the right and obligation of the Muslims to challenge it in the apex court to remove the distortions".


Addressing reporters after the meeting, assistant general secretary of the Board, M A Rahim Qureshi and convenor of the legal cell, Y H Muchala said that the AIMPLB has unanimously decided to approach the apex court.


The AIMPLB president and its general secretary will decide whether to intervene directly or do so through any of the other parties involved in the case.
To a question on efforts to reach a negotiated settlement on the issue, the Board members said that it was hypothetical to comment on it in the absence of any specific concrete proposal.


The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court had on September 30 directed that the 2.77-acre disputed land be divided in three parts among the Hindus and the Muslims. Of this, two parts go to Hindu organisations while the remaining to the Muslims.
