Lucknow: All India Muslim Personal Law Board on September 19 said it would move a higher court challenging the Rae Bareli court verdict discharging Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani from the Ayodhya case if the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failed to file a revision petition soon.

"Muslims will not let L K Advani go scot-free in the Ayodhya trial and will challenge the Rae Bareli court decision in a higher court in case the CBI fails to file a revision petition soon," AIMPLB member Zafaryab Jilani said.

"Advani had actively taken part in the demolition by provoking, inciting and conspiring with others who actually pulled down the structure, and should not go unpunished," Jilani, also the convener of All India Babri Masjid Action Committee, alleged.

He said the Patna meeting of the AIMPLB scheduled for October 18 and 19 will discuss the issue in detail and if the senior lawyers so suggest the Board will itself pursue the matter.

"We will consult our lawyers pursuing the issue in the Supreme Court and would then chalk out our legal course," he said, adding the September 19 verdict has proved beyond doubt that the CBI had "diluted" the charges against Advani.
