NEW DELHI — In a last-minute move that a litigant said could be politically motivated, India’s Supreme Court decided Thursday to delay a lower court’s verdict in a case between Muslims and Hindus over who has the right to a controversial religious site.
The verdict in the 60-year- old case was due today but will be put off until at least Tuesday.
At issue in the contentious case is whether Muslims or Hindus own the land under the 16th-century Babri Masjid mosque in Uttar Pradesh state. The mosque was destroyed in late 1992 by a mob of extremist Hindus.
