In a long-awaited, 10,000-page decision on September 30 over the holy Babri-Masjid-Ram Janambhoomi site at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, a three-judge bench of Justices D V Sharma, Sudhir Agarwal and S U Khan (two Hindu and one Muslim judges), on Thursday ruled that the disputed land was the birthplace of the Hindu God Ram and should be split between Hindus and Muslims.

As millions went into the details of the epoch-making three-judge bench verdict from the Allahabad High Court, some Muslims insisted that they had not got justice.

Muslim leaders who had championed the reconstruction of Ayodhya's 16th century Babri mosque, razed by Hindu mobs in 1992, were a disappointed lot -- having spent time and energy on the cause.

But many among the 140-million strong community felt the time had come to bury past bitterness, a line also advocated by the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), which has pledged to build a grand Ram temple on the ruins of the Babri Masjid.

In the latter category was Mohammed Hashim Ansari, a 90-year-old Ayodhya Muslim who has waged legal battles since 1961 over the disputed land where the mosque once stood.

The dispute was 'now a closed chapter', he said at his crumbling home in Ayodhya. 'Hindus should be allowed to build their temple.'

He does not want Muslims to approach the Supreme Court challenging the Thursday verdict that split up the disputed land into three -- two-thirds going to Hindus and a third to the Sunni Wakf Board.
