Have sent formal letter accepting the &#8216;sacking&#8217; without demur. No longer involved in the review or the case,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been informed that Mr Madani has indicated that I was removed from the case because I was unwell. This is total nonsense. He has a right to instruct his lawyer AOR Ejaz Maqbool to sack me which he did on instructions. But the reason being floated is malicious and untrue,&#8221; Dhavan added on the social networking site.<\/p>\n<p>The Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, headed by Maulana Arshad Madani, on Monday filed a review petition challenging the Supreme Court&#8217;s Ayodhya verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Dhavan later said he didn&#8217;t want to divide the Muslim parties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have argued the case for all the Muslim parties in a united manner and would like the same way. The Muslim parties should sort out their differences first,&#8221; Dhavan told PTI.<\/p>\n<p>He said he expressed his opinion on Facebook only after Maqbool went public about him being sacked because he is unwell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I am unwell, then how come I am appearing in courts in other cases,&#8221; Dhavan said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am committed to the cause and to the Muslim parties but making such a statement is completely wrong,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate December 2 letter addressed to Maqbool, the AOR in the review petition, Dhavan narrated the sequence of events related to drafting of the review plea in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As promised, I am responding to your call at 10.14 AM today when I was at the doctors, informing me that I have been sacked from further involvement in the Babri case on behalf of your client. We were in agreement that the correct term was &#8216;sacked&#8217; and you explained you had no choice in the matter. With humility and respect and the norms of my profession, I accept the sacking without demur,&#8221; Dhavan said in his letter.<\/p>\n<p>The senior lawyer also wished Maqbool the best for his future endeavour and said, &#8220;The cause is bigger than all of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A five-judge Constitution bench on November 9 unanimously cleared the way for the construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque.<\/p>\n<p>A plea seeking review of the verdict was filed in the apex court on Monday by Maulana Syed Ashhad Rashidi, legal heir of original litigant M Siddiq, and the Uttar Pradesh president of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind. It stated that &#8220;complete justice&#8221; could only be done by directing reconstruction of the Babri Masjid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, who appeared for Muslim parties in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute case, on Tuesday said he has been sacked from the matter on the &#8216;nonsensical&#8217; ground that he is unwell.
