The second suit was filed by Paramhans Ramchandra Das also in 1950 seeking the same injunction but this suit was later withdrawn.
The third suit was filed in 1959 by Nirmohi Akhara, seeking direction to hand over the charge of the disputed site from the receiver.
Fourth suit was filed in the year 1961 by UP Sunni Central Board of Waqfas for declaration and possession. The fifth suit was also filed on July 1, 1989 in the name of Bhagwan Shree Ram Lalla Virajman for declaration and possession.
Since suit No 2 was already withdrawn, only four title suits were in existence. These four suits remained pending in Faizabad civil court and in the 1989, on an application moved by the then advocate general UP, these suits were transferred to the high court.
