The Supreme Court today (25th Oct) declined a request for an interim status quo on the demolition of Muslim religious structures in Gujarat, informed by the state’s assurance that the land will remain government-owned. Ongoing legal disputes include challenges to earlier court decisions and concerns over alleged unauthorized demolitions impacting recognized sites. Further hearings are scheduled.

The Supreme Court (25th Oct) refused to maintain the status quo on alleged illegal demolitions of Muslim places of worship in Gujarat. Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan deemed it unnecessary to issue an order. The case involved a contempt petition concerning demolitions without prior approval, with conflicting claims about land ownership.
