thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Orders Status Quo on Asaram Ashram Land for 2030 Commonwealth Games
The Supreme Court has ordered a status quo until May 4 on over 45,000 square metres of land in Motera, Ahmedabad, occupied by the Sant Shri Asharam Ashram. The Gujarat government seeks to reclaim the land for the proposed Sardar Patel Sports Complex linked to the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The court noted possible procedural lapses in serving notices to the Trust managing the ashram and has asked the government to submit relevant records. The Trust contests the takeover, citing lawful allotment and no lease violations. The matter is scheduled for further hearing.
