1. Restore the Hindu temple that was destroyed and allot land to Muslims for a mosque in another location. Basically the Ayodhya formula given by the SC.
2. Repeat the same for Mathura
School and hospital argument is valid, I agree. Govt should focus on those too
If only you read the Ayodhya Judgement, it was precisely because of continued worship that the land was given to the hindu parties.
There is historical, continued worship at Gyanvapi as well at one of the walls of the 'mosque', the suit was filed so that access to the inside would be available to worshippers who have always prayed at the walls.
Do serious law bro, even that clown Chandrachud recognized that a structure being called a mosque is not the same as the structure being a mosque provided evidence could be adduced to said effect.
Continued worship at the site indicates that the hindu side never relinquished its claim to the demolished temple. The Ayodhya judgment gave the site to the hindus because - 1. Archaeological evidence of a temple pre-dating the 'mosque'; and, 2. The evidence of continued worship at the site of the 'mosque'. Taken together it established, on a balance of probabilities, that a temple existed and the worshippers never relinquished their right to the temple, that is, the legal right over the site always resided with the deity irrespective of the structure over the site.
Now, at Gyanvapi the hindus have historically prayed at one of the original walls of the temple only because they could not access the present structure, this inability is the subject matter of the legal dispute. The district court ordered a survey to establish the status of the structure. If there is archaeological evidence that there once stood a temple and that there has been continued worship, then the site was never a mosque. Again, this is subject to the ability of the parties to adduce evidence.
Why bother? It doesn't matter what you think, for millions of believers that site holds great religious significance which cannot be 'relocated to an alternate site'. If they can establish the requisites applied in the Ayodhya judgment, they have every right to advance their claim and change the status quo. They don't 'need a new structure', they only want their original site back which they have always claimed as their own.
The standards of India has become so low that they consider this filthy air as pure.
