The Supreme Court has declined to entertain a plea seeking directions to nominate representatives from the Centre and state government on the "Indo Islamic Cultural Foundation" trust, constituted to build a mosque in Ayodhya. A bench, headed by Justice R.F. Nariman, after hearing arguments of advocate Hari Shankar Jain, dismissed the plea filed by Shishir Chaturvedi and Karunesh Kumar Shukla.

The petitioni said that on July 29, the Sunni Waqf Board declared creating a trust under the title of the Indo Islamic Cultural Foundation. This trust would build a mosque, cultural and research centre and public utility facilities, which would also include a library, community kitchen and hospital within 5 acres land allotted to it.

The plea argued said there is no provision for nominating any officer of the government and it is expected that hundreds of persons shall visit at the site of Islamic trust and it will get contributions within India and also from foreign countries.

The plea, filed through advocate Divya Jyoti Singh, sought the top court to issue a direction to the Centre to create a trust consisting of nominees of the Central and state government belonging to Sunni Muslims in the Indo Islamic Cultural Foundation for proper administration of the land and construction of the mosque allotted to UP Sunni Central Waqf Board.
