"The judgment has to be seen. Let the text of the judgment come. It is not right for me as a law minister to comment," Moily told reporters after a three-judge bench of the Allahabad High Court ruled in favour of a temple at the disputed site.

Asked what was the stand of the government, which is custodian of the site, he said: "No doubt, we are custodians of the place, but there is no contingency for us to step in."

The three-judge bench ruled in favour of a temple at the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi site in Ayodhya.
