The Supreme Court has given petitioners in the Gujarat demolition case four weeks to respond to the state’s affidavit defending its actions. The Gujarat government’s demolition drive on September 28 aimed to clear encroachments near the Somnath temple. The court emphasized the need for prior notifications before demolitions, scheduling further hearings after six weeks.
