He said that the court will address three issues – whether there was a temple at the disputed site, prior to 1538, whether the suit filed by the Babri committee in 1961 is barred by limitation and whether Muslims perfected their title through adverse possession. The first title suit was filed in 1950 by one Gopal Singh Visharad, seeking an injunction for permitting pooja of Lord Ram inside Babri Masjid. Later 4 more suits were filed including one by UP Sunni Central Board of Waqfs for declaration and possession of the site and one suit was withdrawn .
