The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Ayodhya panel to continue mediation till July-end and submit a report on August 1. The court had then said it may begin day-today hearing from July 25 if it feels the mediation process hasn’t made much headway. The mediation panel is headed by retired Justice FM Khalifullah. The other members of the panel are the Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and senior advocate Sriram Panchu, who is a trained mediator. On March 8, the SC ordered the mediation to seek an amicable resolution of the politically and religiously sensitive land dispute.
