24 Years ago: The Babri Mosque was attacked and razed to the ground. In the events that followed 1000 Muslims were mercilessly butchered. The first suit regarding the structure was filed in 1885, when the Faizabad Deputy Commissioner refused to let Mahant Raghubar Das build a temple on land adjoining the mosque. Das then filed a title suit in a Faizabad court against the Secretary of State for India, seeking permission to build a temple on the Chabutra on the outer courtyard of the Babri Masjid. Since then, legal battle over title has gone on for over a century. ›1949: Idols of Ram Lalla are placed surreptitiously under the central dome. › 1950: Gopal Simla Visharad files first suit in Faizabad civil court for rights to perform pooja to Ram Lalla. › 1950: Paramahansa Ramachandra Das files a suit for continuation of pooja and keeping idols in the structure. › 1959: Nirmohi Akhara files third suit, seeking direction to hand over charge of the disputed site.
