Petition against excavation dismissed

By Our Legal Correspondent

NEW DELHI March 31. The Supreme Court today dismissed a writ petition seeking a direction to stop forthwith the excavation work at the "disputed site" in Ayodhya going on from March 12. A Bench, comprising Justice S. Rajendra Babu and Justice G.P. Mathur, dismissed the petition filed by Naved Yar Khan since he failed to cure the defect pointed out by the Registry, viz., only a special leave petition could be filed against an High Court order and not a writ petition. The Bench had on March 25 granted a week's time to cure the defect and file a fresh petition.
