Lucknow, September 20: After failing to get a favourable decision on his application for deferment of verdict in the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, Ramesh Chandra Tripathi today said he would file a special leave petition (SLP) in the supreme court possibly on Wednesday.
“Through my counsel Prashant Chandra I will move the Supreme court most likely on Wednesday. We will leave for New Delhi tomorrow as we firmly believe that another attempt should be made for deferring the judgement (slated on September 24),” Tripathi told PTI.
A three-judge bench of the Allahabad High Court on September 17 had rejected his petition and imposed “exemplary costs” of Rs 50,000 terming his effort for an out-of-court settlement as a “mischievous attempt”.
Senior counsel Chandra, who had represented Tripathi in Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, said the SLP would be filed on the same grounds cited in the earlier application.
