Past History since year 1885.
In fact this issue is much older. It is as old as originated in the year 1885.
The Mahant Raghu Bir Das in the year 1885 had filed a civil suit
In the Court of the Civil Sub-Judge Faizabad that the adjoining land to
The Babri Masjid belonged to Ram Mandir and it was the birth place
of Lord Ram.
The Sub-Judge Pandit Hari Kishan had dismissed this claim on the
ground that building a temple adjacent to Babri Masjid would
hamper public peace and safety.
Mahant Raghu Bir filed an appeal before District Judge Faizabad.
The British District Judge also upheld the judgment of the Sub-Judge,
But also remarked that it was a sad incident that the Ram temple
was demolished, and Babri Masjid was constructed at the aforesaid
premises before some 365 years and therefore no action is warranted
and status quo position should be maintained. This was in 1886.

From 1886 to 1946 there was no new development and position
remained status quo.
Year 1949.
In the year 1949, on 22nd December, Ram Mandir was erected in the aforesaid premises.
Pandit Nehru telephoned the CM of UP GB Pant,
to remove the Ram Mandir. Mr.Pant declined in view of public opinion.

The Collector and District Majistrate of Faizabad Mr. KKK Nair dis-obeyed
the Governments order to remove the Ram Mandir and Mr. Nair resigned his post
as District Collector. The Temple remained there but it was
locked and visiting pilgrims were allowed to have a glimpse
of Lord Ram from outside.
Year 1983.
In 1983 local advocate UC Pande filed an application in
District Court Faizabad to remove the locks of the temple
and declare open the temple for public visits. The District
Judge Faizabad allowed this request and locks were removed
and the Ram Mandir temple was declared open for public visit.
The Sunni Wakf Board have filed a second appeal before the
Special Bench of Lucknow high court. The Special Bench
of Lucknow High Court issued notice but no stay was granted.
The Allahbad High Court ordered to hear all these matters as a
group matter before the Special Bench Lucknow High Court.
Year 1992.
In the year 1992 on 6th of December, the Car-Sevaks,
damaged and destroyed the top of the Masjid.
It is a matter of some anxious moments to hear the verdict.
