Today, On 27th January, the Supreme Court announced it would hear pleas, including a contempt petition, against Gujarat authorities for allegedly demolishing residential and religious buildings in Gir Somnath district without its prior approval. The case will be taken up in three weeks. The petition claims that the demolitions were carried out in violation of the court’s order. This hearing will address the legality of these actions and their impact on affected people.
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.
