 "Five-judge Constitution Bench of Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi (centre) and (from left) Justices Ashok Bhushan, D Y Chandrachud, Sharad Arvind Bobde and SA Nazeer")
Chants of “Jai Shri Ram!” echoed in the verdant lawns of the Supreme Court (SC) as saffron-clad sadhus and their followers and lawyers took a victory lap as soon as the Ayodhya verdict was announced on Saturday. The sound of conch shells could also be heard.
The decades-long flashpoint of Indian politics had finally come to a close, with the five-member Constitution Bench allowing the construction of a Ram temple on the disputed site in Ayodhya.
Roads leading up to the SC in central Delhi were heavily barricaded, with strong security presence on and outside the campus.
