A five-judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi will convene on Friday to hear the Ayodhya title dispute appeals even as an apex court-appointed mediation committee has sent its interim report. The Bench had sent the Ayodhya dispute for mediation on March 8 in a bid to heal minds and hearts. The Supreme Court had appointed a panel of mediators, including former apex court judge, Justice F.M.I. The mediation proceedings was held in-camera. The time given for mediation was eight weeks, but the court had urged the mediators to “conclude at the earliest”.
