During the hearing, the advocates of the Central Government said that the Shiva Temple has existed here since ancient times, i.e., since the Satyayuga and it still exists. The basement of this temple which is still in dispute is part of the 15^th-century temple. However, it is still in the same condition as it was on 15^th August 1947, hence, the Places of Worship Act does not apply.
