On the last day of hearing,there was drama everywhere as the lawyer representing the Muslim petitioners, tore up a pictorial map showing the Ram Janmasthan after asking the court's permission as he contended that it could not be submitted as evidence since the court had earlier refused to accept it. At one point of time, the CJI even threatened to walk out due to the ruckus in the Courtroom.
