In 1945, there was a litigation between Shias and Sunnis regarding Babri Masjid. The Shias objected to the Waqf Commissioner recording Babri Masjid as a Sunni Mosque. In the complaint, the Shias mention that the Masjid was located at Janmasthan Ayodhya. Shias lost the case.
Documents submitted to the court by Sunni Waqf Board in other matters also refer the site as Janmasthan Masjid. The report submitted by the Thanedar in 1858 also refers to the site as Masjid Janma Sthan. These official documents and several historical accounts strengthened the case that the site had always been known as Janmasthan also.
