Allahabad HC raps CBI in Ayodhya title suit case

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, hearing the Ayodhya title suit, today rapped the CBI over its probe into the missing files of the Ayodhya case and disposed of the application on the matter.

A special full bench expressed its annoyance on the CBI being unable to locate all the missing files in the Ayodhya case and pointed out that it proved their inefficiency.

The court, however, maintained that the evidence, which had come up till now was enough in the case.

The bench comprising Justices S U Khan, Sudhir Agarwal and D V Sharma gave the observation on an application filed by Sunni Central Waqf Board.

The petition demanded that seven documents of the year 1949, which were in the government custody, be produced in the court for the hearing into the title suit of Ayodhya.

The court, earlier, had ordered the CBI to find the missing files after the state government said the files concerned were missing.

Later, during the investigation the agency had found some missing files.

The bench had reserved its judgement way back and today it disposed of the plea by saying that there was enough evidence in the case.
