Muslims want the 16th century mosque be rebuilt and leaders from the two sides have been arguing over the matter for decades. "Enough is enough," Supreme Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said in a packed courtroom in New Delhi, sitting alongside four other judges. He said he was confident of a verdict in favour of the Hindus. Ahead of the court decision, local authorities banned gatherings of more than four people across Ayodhya town to prevent a trouble between majority Hindus and Muslims who make up 12% of the population. Thousands of people have died in riots that have erupted over Ayodhya over the years.
