AIMPLB hopeful Dhavan will represent it when Ayodhya review petition is filed

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Tuesday was hopeful that senior counsel Rajeev Dhavan will represent it when it files a review petition in the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya verdict.

Dhavan earlier in the day said he is no longer involved in either the review petition or the case and claimed he was sacked from the Babri case by Advocate on Record Ejaz Maqbool, who was representing the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, on a 'nonsensical' ground that he was unwell.

In a tweet, AIMPLB spokesman Khalid Saifullah Rahmani said, "Rajeev Dhavan has always been a symbol of justice and unity. @AIMPLB_Official will continue its efforts in the Supreme Court under his esteemed leadership."
In another tweet, Maulana Umrain, an office bearer of the Board said, "We are indebted to the senior advocate Mr. Rajeev Dhavan for his sincere exceptional and incomparable effort in the #babrimasjidcase. We hope that he would represent us again when the review petition is filed."
The board's general secretary Md Wali Rahmani issued a statement, saying, "A team of senior advocates and advocates on record is busy in drafting the review petition, which will be then settled by advocate Rajeev Dhawan."
