The Supreme Court on Monday has received a short memorandum filed by the Ayodhya mediation committee seeking its permission to resume talks in the Ayodhya case. The three-member panel is headed by Justice FM Kalifulla, senior advocate Sriram Panchu, and spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. In March, the apex court had referred the matter to the panel of mediators and had asked them to hold in-camera proceedings. They were given the time of eight weeks to address the case.
