Moon Sighting and The Ulama

Is the claim by Darul-uloom Bury or Hizb face-to-face or plastered all over the Internet? What does Shariah require for a mistake of this nature to be rectified?

If a mistake is made public and affects thousands of people, what does the Shariah command for it to be rectified?

Last time we had moon-sighting in Kerala when the astronomical data said there is no chance of sighting. It was the only time when there was a consensus between the sunnis and salafis and its splinter branches that the moon was sighted. I remember saying to my friends there will be 30 days in Ramadan looking at the astronomical data in the moonsighting website and moon was sighted one day before contrary to the data.

So, i m not really into the astronomical data anymore.[/QUOTE]

Can you please tell us as to which year and month this happened in?

And what are the basis of these sightings? Was it sighted by a huge number of people?
