NEW DELHI, INDIA, September 24, 2010: The Supreme Court Thursday ordered an interim stay till September 28 on the pronouncement of the Ayodhya verdict by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High court.

The high court was due to deliver its verdict on the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi title suit Friday.

An apex court bench of Justice R.V. Raveendran and Justice H.L. Gokhale, while issuing notice to all the parties to the title suit, asked Attorney General Goolam Vahanvati to be present in the court when the case is heard.

The ruling followed a petition of retired bureaucrat Ramesh Chandra Tripathi for postponement of the high court verdict at least until the end of the October 3-14 Commonwealth Games. It also sought the court’s direction to the parties to explore possibilities of an out of court amicable settlement.
