New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear on 16 September a plea by former Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue K N Govindacharya, which sought directions to allow live streaming and audio video recording of Ram Janambhoombhi-Babri Masjid land dispute case being heard by a five-judge constitution bench.
The matter was heard by an apex court bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and comprising of Justices Ashok Bhushan and SA Nazeer. The plea was mentioned by advocate Vikas Singh, representing Govindacharya.
The bench said that "some orders will be passed" on 16 September.
The Supreme Court in August began day-to-day hearings in the Ayodhya land dispute case, noting that more than four months of efforts to mediate between rival Hindu and Muslim claimants had failed.
Fourteen appeals have so far been filed before the Supreme Court against the 2010 Allahabad high court judgement, which said that the disputed 22.7 acres should be equally divided among the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
On 6 December 1992, Babri Masjid, a 16th century mosque, was demolished by Hindu groups who wanted to build a Ram temple at the disputed site, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram.
