Justice Mohd. Aslam and Justice Venkatachaliah.

Correct Answer:

Chief Justice Venkatachaliah and Justice G.N. Ray.

Explanation:

Chief Justice Venkatachaliah and Justice G.N. Ray were the Justices who made the observations in the MOHD ASLAM VS UNION OF INDIA" case

In MOHD ASLAM VS UNION OF INDIA case, MOHD ASLAM, the petitioner filed a contempt petition against Shri Kalyan Singh, the respondent. He stated the then Chief Minister had willfully disobeyed the court’s order.

In a judicial context, the insights of Justice G.N. Ray of the Supreme Court have gained prominence through his observations in a significant judgement. This particular case sheds light on the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh's inability to uphold a commitment he had previously articulated before the National Integration Council. The essence of this commitment was to ensure the safeguarding of the 'Ram Janam Bhumi-Babri Masjid' structure, a matter of considerable cultural and religious significance. This legal episode, denoted as Mohd. Aslam v. Union of India, unfolded on the 24th of October in the year 1994. Within this legal context, the observations made by Justice G.N. Ray serve as a pivotal commentary on the Chief Minister's failure to fulfill his pre-established commitment before the National Integration Council.
