The court said that merely stating the archaeological evidence as an opinion would be a great injustice to the ASI. The court said that there is ample evidence in the ASI report that the Babri Masjid was not built on vacant land. There was a structure at the disputed site. The suppressed structure was not Islamic. The court said, Ram Janmabhoomi is not a lawful person. The court said that there was no evidence that the Muslims left the mosque.
