A bench headed by Justice S.K. Kaul said the issue does not survive now and referred to the November 2019 verdict of a constitution bench which awarded the title of the land to the Hindu litigants.
A three-judge bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Abhay S. Oka, and Vikram Nath opined that given the passage of time and 2019 verdict delivered by a larger bench of SC the contempt cases don t survive. The order comes as a relief for BJP leaders Uma Bharti, Vinay Katiyar, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sadhvi Ritambara and others.
