The Babri Masjid was destroyed during a political rally which turned into a riot on 6 December 1992 . A subsequent land title case was lodged in the Allahabad High Court , the verdict of which was pronounced on 30 September 2010 . In the landmark hearing , the three judges of The Allahabad High Court ruled that the of Ayodhya land be divided into 3 parts , with 1/3 going to the Ram Lalla or Infant Rama represented by the Hindu Maha Sabha for the construction of the Ram temple , 1/3 going to the Islamic Sunni Waqf Board and the remaining 1/3 going to a Hindu religious denomination Nirmohi Akhara . While the three-judge bench was not unanimous that the disputed structure was constructed after demolition of a temple , it did agree that a temple or a temple structure predated the mosque at the same site . The excavations by the Archaeological Survey of India were heavily used as evidence by the court that the predating structure was a massive Hindu religious building
