In Brief
This order disposed of numerous interlocutory applications in consolidated civil appeals relating to disputed land at Ayodhya. The Court rejected multiple applications for intervention and impleadment by third parties and directed the Registry not to entertain further such applications. A writ petition withdrawn to pursue intervention was revived after the intervention application was rejected. The Court ordered the parties' procedural applications allowed and directed preparation of case records in accessible formats. Crucially, the Court indicated it would consider whether a prior Constitution Bench decision (Dr. M. Ismail Faruqui) required reconsideration, with potential referral to a larger five-Judge Bench.
