A Delhi court has turned down a plea against a civil judge’s order, which had earlier rejected a suit that sought to nullify the Supreme Court's decision in the Ayodhya case.
The district court was reviewing an appeal filed by Advocate Mehmood Pracha, questioning the civil court's April 2025 ruling, which also imposed Rs 1 lakh in costs. District Judge Dharmender Rana upheld the ruling, imposing an additional Rs 5 lakh fine to discourage frivolous legal actions.
The dispute revolves around allegations made by Pracha, claiming a former Chief Justice linked the 2019 Ayodhya verdict to divine guidance. Rana dismissed these claims as baseless and stressed the need for stricter measures to prevent unnecessary litigation.
