The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) said it saw some positive movement in the Ayodhya land case after the Supreme Court verdict Thursday in a related matter.
It said the verdict indicated that the hearing in the case will not be done on the basis of faith.
Earlier in the day, the apex court had declined to refer to a five-judge constitution bench the issue of reconsideration of its 1994 observation that the mosque is not integral to Islam.
Senior AIMPLB member Zafaryab Jilani said, "We honour the court order and see some positive movement regarding the Ayodhya case."
Mahali said the AIMPLB had wanted the Supreme Court's 1994 observation that the mosque is not integral to Islam be put before a constitution bench so that the matter is resolved permanently."
