The final report of the Archaeological Survey of India
(ASI) claims to have found a huge structure under the
Babri Masjid site dating back to 10th century AD.

A special bench of the Allahabad High Court is looking
at the final excavation report of the ASI.

The report was submitted to the court by the ASI team
on August 22. The court had ordered an excavation at
the site on March 5 for evidence of any structure
existing before the Babri Masjid. 

Hard evidence

The ASI report runs into over 570 pages and will
become substantial evidence in the long legal battle
over the disputed land in Ayodhya. 

The court is expected to remove the report from sealed
covers and then provide copies to the litigants. 

All the groups involved in the dispute have brought in
a battery of legal experts to examine the ASI report.
Not only will the report have a strong impact on the
land dispute, it will cast a shadow over politics,
especially because the BJP plans to use the temple
issue in its campaign for the assembly polls.
