The final hearing in the Ayodhya land dispute case will begin from 29 October after the Supreme Court Thursday cleared the decks by ruling that praying in a mosque is not integral to the practice of Islam.

In a 2:1 ruling, the top court refused to refer its 1994 Ismail Farooqui verdict to a larger bench that said praying in a mosque is not essential for practicing Islam. In the same case, the court allowed acquisition of the disputed 2.77 acres where the Babri Masjid stood before it was pulled down in 1992.
