Jaipur: The All-India Muslim Personal Law Board has decided “in principle” to become an intervener in the appeal to be moved by the Sunni Central Board of Waqfs in the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court’s judgment in the Ayodhya dispute. The board will meet in New Delhi on October 9 to analyse the verdict and discuss the grounds for challenging it. Its working committee will meet on October 16, when a formal announcement on the board becoming an intervener is likely to be made. The board’s Babri Masjid Committee convener S.Q.R. Ilyas told journalists that a consensus had emerged among the AIMPLB members that the High Court judgment, unless annulled by the Supreme Court, would result in faith being treated as a valid ground for deciding property-related disputes in future.  As the supreme religious body of Indian Muslims, the Personal Law Board considers the High Court verdict unacceptable.
