Ayodhya land and temple legal disputes
Overview
Legal proceedings regarding land in Ayodhya have reached the Supreme Court of India through two distinct petitions.
In late October, the Court reserved its judgment on a petition by the Shri Saryu Nagar Vikas Samiti. The group is challenging land acquisitions for residential housing schemes managed by the Uttar Pradesh Awas Evam Vikas Parishad. The dispute involves whether the state should have applied the 2013 Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, which offers higher compensation and mandatory social impact assessments, rather than the 1965 Act.
Separately, the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Case Trust filed a petition seeking an independent survey of the Ram temple site. The plea requests an expert commission to verify if the temple construction aligns with the precise boundaries and coordinates defined in the 2019 Supreme Court verdict. The petition also calls for the preservation of land records and increased financial transparency, including annual audits by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
