Ayodhya hearing on Feb. 21?

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI FEB. 12. Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders are hopeful that the Supreme Court will hear their application for vacation of stay on the acquired land in Ayodhya on February 21.

Apparently, as a routine, the application has been listed for hearing on that date, but the exact date is expected to be decided early next week. The Chief Justice has to constitute a Constitution Bench for the hearing and "normally'' such Benches sit only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays — February 21 is a Friday.

The working committee or the Marg Darshak Mandal Samiti of the `dharam sansad' of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad is meeting on February 21 to finalise the resolutions that are expected to be adopted at the `sansad' during its three-day meet from February 22. The VHP leaders have already announced that `sants' at the sansad will announce an agitational action plan if a large part of the land acquired by the Centre in Ayodhya is not handed over to its trust by the evening of February 23.
