Top 6 landmark judgments delivered by Supreme Court in 2019

The Supreme Court of India delivered several landmark verdicts in 2019. While some were in cases that had been hanging fire for generations, some others helped pave way for better functioning of the system. While a five-judge Bench led by outgoing Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi delivered a verdict in the 69-year-old Ayodhya land title dispute, the Court also observed that the Right to Information (RTI) Act supersedes the Official Secrets Act. Almost 27 years after the demolition of Ayodhya’s Babri Masjid, and 69 years after the title suit in connection with the disputed land was first filed, the Supreme Court finally brought closure to, arguably, Independent India’s most controversial and religiously polarising case. In its unanimous judgment, a five-judge Bench led by the then CJI Ranjan Gogoi ruled Nirmohi Akhada was not a shebait of Ram Lalla. It also ruled that the 2.77-acre disputed land parcel had been occupied in the 16th century to build the mosque razed in 1992. The disputed land was awarded to the deity Ram Lalla, one of the three litigants in the case. The court directed the central government to allocate 5 acres of alternative land to the Sunni Waqf Board in Ayodhya to build a mosque.
