The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought responses from two persons for allegedly threatening senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan for taking up the case on behalf of the Sunni Waqf Board and other Muslim parties in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case.
"Notice," said the five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi at the start of hearing on 18th day in the land dispute case. The bench has put up contempt pleas for hearing after two weeks.
Dhavan had filed contempt petition against two persons, N Shanmugam, a retired education officer, and a Rajasthan resident, Sanjay Kalal Bajrangi, for allegedly threatening him for appearing for Muslim parties.
On the 18th day of the day-today hearing, Dhavan continued his submissions on behalf of the Muslim parties. He continued with his argument that the inscription contained within the arch of the disputed land structure has the word 'Allah' written on it.
