SC judge recuses self from Babri Masjid hearing
Supreme Court Justice V Gopala Gowde recused himself from hearing appeals in the Babri Masjid case on Thursday, without giving a reason for doing so. Chief Justice of India TS Thakur will now appoint a fresh bench. The case challenges a 2010 Allahabad High Court verdict that dropped criminal conspiracy charges against senior BJP leaders in the 1992 demolition.
