Solicitor General Tushar Mehta Yesterday (Oct 25) informed a bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Vishwanathan that the Auliye-e-Deen Committee had withheld crucial information in its petition challenging the demolition of nine Muslim religious sites, graveyards, and hutments, some of which were protected ancient monuments in Gir Somnath, Gujarat. He noted that the removal of encroachments on the same land began five months ago and pointed out that the court was not told that similar actions, including the demolition of several temples, had been ongoing since 2020.
