Lawyer Rajeev Dhavan says he was 'sacked' for 'nonsense' reasons by the group Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind
New Delhi/IBNS: Advocate Rajeev Dhavan, who appeared for the Muslim parties in the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute case on Tuesday posted on Facebook that he has been sacked by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind over "total nonsense" reasons.
"Just been sacked from the Babri case by AOR Ejaz Maqbool who was representing the Jamiat. Have sent formal letter accepting the 'sacking' without demur. No longer involved in the review or the case," Rajeev Dhavan posted this morning.
"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," Rajeev Dhavan wrote on Facebook.
According to media reports the lawyer said, he was confirmed by the Muslim body that he was sacked, but later they said they were sick and unavailable.
"There are five other parties who want to keep Rajeev Dhavan as lead lawyer in the case. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) is trying to convince him to argue for other Muslim parties," a lawyer Shamshad was quoted as by NDTV.
Jamiat lawyer Ejaz Maqbool said Jamait wanted to file the review petition yesterday, but Dhavan was not available and added that it was not a big issue.
