Ayodhya verdict: Daily hearings in the politically sensitive case have concluded.

Highlights Lawyer Rajeev Dhavan tore up a map showing Ram Janmasthan

"You do what you want," Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi replied

After the pages were torn, resulting commotion angered the judges

On the last day of daily hearings in the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya temple-mosque case, there were dramatic moments as a senior lawyer tore up a map and relentless interruptions infuriated the judges.

Rajeev Dhavan, representing Muslim petitioners including the Sunni Waqf Board in the title suit, tore up a pictorial map showing the Ram Janmasthan. "Can I have your permission to tear it," Mr Dhavan said to the judges. He acted after Vikas Singh, the lawyer for the All India Hindu Mahasabha, tried to place a publication by formerby 5 pm. Enough is enough," Chief Justice Gogoi had said after a lawyer asked the Supreme Court for more time for arguments.

The court is expected to announce a verdict in the 134-year-old Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit before the Chief Justice leaves office on November 17.

Many Hindus believe the land was the birthplace of Lord Ram and a mosque was built there on the ruins of an ancient temple. The 16th century Babri mosque was razed in December 1992 by right-wing activists, a cataclysmic event that sparked riots across the country and changed Indian politics forever.

Several mediation attempts have failed to produce a solution to the decades-old dispute.
