Unfazed by the Allahabad high court today rejecting his application for deferring of the Ayodhya dispute, the petitioner Ramesh Chandra Tripathi said he would continue his efforts for resolving the matter through reconciliation.

"The application seeking deferment had been filed before the three-judge bench relating to the case in national interest and though it has been rejected today, I would pursue the matter after taking legal opinion of my counsel", Tripathi, a defendant in a suit, told PTI.

"On the advice of my counsel I might move the apex court or the high court yet again before September 24 to avoid any problem that might arise on pronouncement of the verdict," Tripathi said adding it would be in the interest of all that an amicable settlement is reached through reconciliation .

Tripathi, a retired official of the central audit and accounts service who had been included in the list of defendants in 1971 when he had moved an application for it in his capacity as a devotee of Lord Ram, said the hype created by the government by demanding 600 to 400 companies of central forces in apprehension of breach of peace and the panic evident through it was sending a message which was not in national interest.

The counsel of Tripathi Prashat Chandra, when contacted, said he would proceed in the matter as per the directives of his client.

Tripathi had on Septemebr 13 moved an application before the OSD of the special full bench of Allahabad high court praying for deferring the verdict in view of reports in the media that the pronouncement of the verdict might disturb communal harmony and lead to violence.
