In substance, the court has said that might is right, and has laid down a dangerous precedent sanctifying aggression.

Here Justice Katju asks pertinent questions and put forth solid arguments.

The Ayodhya Verdict is Based on a Strange Feat of Logic

It is foolish to think the Supreme Court’s decision will bring about communal peace. Appeasement, like the Munich pact of 1938, only whets the appetite of the aggressor.

"After the partition of 1947, the demolition of the Babri Masjid by political vandals was India’s greatest tragedy.

The Ayodhya verdict says this demolition was illegal, but in the same breath sanctifies it.

Well done, My Lords!"

says Justice Katju

He laments that "The recent Ayodhya verdict of the Supreme Court will go down in the annals of Indian legal history in the same category as its 1975 decision in ADM Jabalpur vs Shivakant Shukla – except that unlike the latter, in this one there is not a single courageous dissent!"

"In this vein, it is foolish to think that the Ayodhya verdict will bring about communal peace. Appeasement, like the Munich pact of 1938, only whets the appetite of the aggressor."

Justice Katju cautions..

When this govt changes & new people come to power, we MUST carry out constitutional reforms to avoid repetition of various incidents including madness of demonetisation, weakening of CBI, RBI, ED, etc. The reforms also should go to extent like automatic disqualification in case of fake degrees and refusal to attend open Press Conferences (min. 4 per year).

If you know good lawyers, please start with this.

@jamewils Katju cited Jabalpur ADM case where judiciary surrendered before government of the day. But in that case there was one dissenting judgment by Justice HR Khanna. On #AYODHYAVERDICT surrender is complete.
