The Sunni Central Waqf Board Chairman Zufar Farooqi has said they will not file a review petition against the Supreme Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suit, PTI reported.
The Board, which was a main litigant in the Ayodhya case, met on Tuesday to discuss the verdict amid reports that its members are divided on whether to file a review petition against the judgment.

The meeting was also expected to discuss whether to accept a plot of land that the judgment said must be given to Muslims to build a mosque, Farooqui had said on Monday.
After the five-judge bench delivered its historic verdict on the Ranjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute, Farooqui had come out against filing a review petition. But some board members went public against the stand.
In its verdict, the Supreme Court had paved the way for the construction of a Ram Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque.
Farooqui had said there were divergent views within the eight-member board on the matter and the number of those suggesting that the plot should be used for some “constructive work” to give a message to the world is very low”.
Earlier, the All India Muslim Personal law Board (AIMPLB) said a review petition will be filed against the judgment. It is also against accepting an alternative site to replace the mosque that was demolished in Ayodhya in 1992.
