'Prayed to God for a solution': CJI DY Chandrachud reflects on handling Ayodhya case

NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Sunday shared his personal experience dealing with the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute and said that he prayed to God for a solution.
During a felicitation ceremony in his native village of Kanhersar, CJI revealed that he had sought divine intervention to find a resolution to the complex case that had been before him for three months.
“Very often we have cases (to adjudicate) but we don’t arrive at a solution. Something similar happened during the Ayodhya (Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute) which was in front of me for three months. I sat before the deity and told him he needs to find a solution,” news agency PTI quoted CJI as saying.
“Believe me, if you have faith, God will always find a way,” he asserted.
CJI Chandrachud was part of the five-judge bench, headed by then Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, that delivered the historic verdict on November 9, 2019. The bench settled the long-standing dispute by paving the way for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya while also ruling that a mosque would be built on an alternative five-acre plot in the same city.
CJI Chandrachud had also visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya in July this year and offered prayers. The idol consecration of the temple took place on January 22, 2023, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
