"Even if Babur ordered for building a mosque, the Wakif is the one who actually creates Waqf by dedicating it to the God. Babur stayed near Ayodhya only for 5-6 days whereas construction of mosque took more time (demolition of temple and building of mosque). The trial court failed to appreciate that merely ordering to build mosque does not make that person as Wakif. Challenging the findings of the trial court, the board said that inscription on the pulpit of the mosque elaborately described Baqi as its builder and the court made serious error in rejecting its claim. The two boards representing two groups of muslim community are all set to fight out their case in court as Shia board has already blamed its rival for opposing amicable settlement of Ram Janam Bhoomi-Babri Masjid row.
