Arguments in Ayodhya land case will be completed by Oct 17: SC

New Delhi [India]: The Supreme Court on Friday said that the arguments in the Ayodhya land case will be completed by October 17, 2019.
Earlier, the Court had set October 18 as the deadline to conclude the argument in this case.
In a clear indication that judgment in Ayodhya dispute case is likely to be delivered before CJI Ranjan Gogoi’s retirement in November, the Supreme Court on September 26 said that it cannot grant even a single extra day beyond October 18 to all petitioners to complete their submissions.
The Court stated that if the need arises, it will hear the Ayodhya title dispute case on Saturdays as well to ensure that the hearing is concluded by October 18.
The top court had on August 5 commenced day-to-day hearing in the case from Monday to Friday.
The comments by the apex court came after one of the Hindu parties, Ram Janmabhoomi Punarudhar Samiti (RJPS), sought extra time to argue in the case. The court, however, rejected it.
