Ahmedabad (Gujarat), April 29, 2025 (ANI): As 18 petitioners seeking an urgent hearing from Gujarat HC to bring a stay on the massive demolition drive at Ahmedabad’s Chandola Lake, Advocate Anand Yagnik on April 29 said that Gujarat High Court refused to grant interim relief against demolition on the ground. He also said that the court is not inclined to grant any interim protection against the demolition and permission to the petitioner to stay near the lake.“High Court of Gujarat, while dealing with petition of 18 citizens, majority of them are women, have refused to grant interim relief against demolition on the ground that these petitioners are apparently on the water body. Therefore, the judgment against demolition passed by the Supreme Court will not apply to them. They do not have any permission to put up construction on government land, which is otherwise a water body. Therefore, the court is not inclined to grant any interim protection against the demolition and permission to the petitioner to stay near the lake...,” said Advocate Anand Yagnik.
