Supreme Court Orders Status Quo on Asaram Ashram Land in Gujarat Ahead of 2030 Games

The Supreme Court has ordered a status quo on the approximately 45,000 square metres of land occupied by Asaram's ashram in Motera, Ahmedabad, pending further hearings. The Gujarat government seeks to reclaim this land for the proposed Sardar Patel Sports Complex linked to the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The court questioned the validity of the state's show-cause notice and noted past regularisations of the land, while the government cited lease violations and unauthorized constructions. The matter is scheduled for further hearing next week.
