The Supreme Court has given permission for carrying out work relating to replacing old tarpaulin and ropes with new one at the make shift temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
A bench headed by justice S S Nijjar granted the permission after the Centre and other parties in the dispute did not raise any objection.
The apex court had admitted several petitions challenging the Allahabad High Court verdict of three-way division of the disputed Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid site in Ayodhya on September 30, 2010.
The apex court on May 9, 2011 had dubbed as "strange" the high court's verdict and had stayed its operation saying none of the parties had demanded partition of the land.
While ordering status quo at the site, which means that prayers at Ram Lalla's make-shift temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya would be going on as usual, the court had restrained any kind of religious activity on the adjacent 67 acre land, which had been taken over by the Centre.
