A five-member Constitutional bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi heard the matter on Friday morning. The mediation panel sought an extension of time to "find an amicable solution". During the hearing, CJI Ranjan Gogoi told the panel that the bench is not going to tell it "what progress has been made...that's confidential". The five-member Constitutional bench also comprised Justices SA Bobde, SA Nazeer, Ashok Bhushan and DY Chandrachud. What is the mediation panel? The Supreme Court had constituted a three-member mediation committee that was tasked with exploring the possibility of an amicable settlement in the decades-old Ayodhya's Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case. The panel has already submitted its interim report in a sealed cover before the Supreme Court. News agency PTI in the report said its sources who are aware of the development said the interim report was filed with the apex court Registry on May 6, following which the matter was listed for hearing on Friday. On March 8, the Supreme Court had referred the matter to mediation for exploring the possibility of an amicable settlement. It had appointed former apex court judge FMI Kalifulla, spiritual guru and founder of Art of Living foundation Sri Sri Ravishankar and senior advocate Sriram Panchu, a renowned mediator, as members of the mediation committee. The panel was asked by the apex court to hold in-camera proceedings and complete them within eight weeks. Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among the three parties -- the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla. On December 6, 1992, the Babri Masjid, constructed at the disputed site in the 16th century by Shia Muslim Mir Baqi, was demolished.
