In 1993, the Centre had acquired 67 acres of land around the disputed site saying it was related to the dispute. The SC had upheld the acquisition in 1994 and ordered that this land shall remain with the Central government and shall not be released in anyone’s favour until the dispute is decided. This arrangement was continued and reasserted by Supreme Court by a 2011 order in the Aslam Bhure’s petition. Bhure was also a petitioner in the case.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Adityanath has welcomed the centre’s move to petition the Supreme Court to hand over the land to Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas, according to ANI.
