New Delhi: The 23rd-day hearing began in the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya Ram temple and Babri Masjid case. Zafaryab Jilani started a debate on behalf of the Muslim side on Friday. Jilani cited a PWD report that said a part of the mosque was allegedly damaged in the 1934 communal riots and repaired by PWD.

Jilani further said that Nirmohi Akhara has also mentioned the mosque in his 1942 lawsuit, in which they accepted the mosque as a three-dome structure. Jilani quoted Mohammad Hashim's statement as saying, "Hashim had said in his statement that he had offered namaz at the Babri Masjid on 22 December 1949". And said that on 22 November 1949, Haji offered prayers in the Babri Masjid. Jilani said about a witness that in 1954, the man was imprisoned for attempting to offer prayers in the Babri Masjid.

The Muslim party cited the statement of Hafiz, who taught Taraweeh prayers in Babri Masjid, 1945–46. Jilani read the statement of a witness and said that he had recited the prayers of Maghrib in 1939 at Babri Masjid. On the statements of the witnesses of the Jilani Muslim side, they are trying to prove that even after 1934 Namaz was read at the disputed site. At the same time, during the cross-examination in the apex court from the Hindu side, it was argued that after 1934, Namaz was not read at the disputed place.
