The Supreme Court also said that a separate 5-acre land will be given to the Sunni Waqf Board for the construction of the mosque in a suitable location.
The Supreme Court in its verdict stated that the Babri Masjid was not built on vacant land and that a Hindu structure existed below it. The SC however added said that there was no evidence that the mosque was built by demolishing the structure below.
