Ranjan Gogoi, Chief Justice of India (CJI), has arranged a meeting with Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP), to assess the law and order arrangement in the state ahead of the verdict on the Ayodhya land dispute case to be pronounced next week. The CJI has called UP Chief Secretary Rajendra Kumar Tiwari and DGP Om Prakash Singh and will have the meeting in his chamber.
The judgement is likely to be pronounced before November 17 as Justice Gogoi's tenure as the CJI comes to end on that day. The judgement on the Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute was reserved on October 16 after a marathon hearing of 40 days.
