The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear next week Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson Tushar Gandhi, who has challenged the “redevelopment” of the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad.
Chief Justice N.V. Ramana agreed to list the case after an oral mentioning was made by senior advocate Indira Jaising on behalf of Mr. Gandhi. Ms. Jaising cited urgency, saying the Gujarat government project was already underway.
“The urgency is that construction is going on,” Ms. Jaising submitted.
