New Delhi: Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud has said that he had to “pray to god” to find a solution to the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute case.

“Very often we have cases (to adjudicate) but we don’t arrive at a solution. Something similar happened during the Ayodhya (Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid) dispute which was in front of me for three months. I sat before the deity and told him he needed to find a solution,” said CJI Chandrachud, while addressing a gathering at the Kanhersar village in Pune district reported Hindustan Times.

In November 2019, Chandrachud was part of a bench headed by the then Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, that in its judgment had given the disputed piece of land in Ayodhya to the Hindu side. The bench had also ruled that a mosque would come up on an alternative five-acre plot in Ayodhya.

“Believe me, if you have faith, God will always find a way,” said CJI Chandrachud while speaking at the gathering.
