Oldest litigant in Babri case Hashim Ansari dies
Mohammad Hashim Ansari (95), the oldest litigant in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri masjid dispute, died on Wednesday due to heart-related ailments. He had been associated with the case since December 1949. In 2010, Allahabad High Court's verdict equally divided the disputed land among Nirmohi Akhara, the Waqf Board and the side representing Ram Lalla.
