While hearing a case on compensation in a project related to the renovation of Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat, the Gujarat High Court dismissed it. This petition was filed by Jish Vajla and Karan Soni, both residents of Sabarmati Ashram. They were not satisfied with the compensation offered to them for vacating their home for the ashram renovation project. While dismissing his petition, the division bench of Chief Justice Sunita Aggarwal said that the single judge bench had already refused to hear the matter.
In their petition, the two residents claimed that the memorandum of understanding presented to them by the authorities for the eviction of their home gave them three options of 90 lakhs in cash, an apartment or a house as compensation for the eviction of their yard. They were given. But the fourth option included 25 lakh rupees along with land and rent of 12,000 rupees per month for two years, they were not told when the agreement was signed. In such a situation, the petitioners decided to receive financial compensation for an apartment or equivalent rent.
In the present case, the court said in its order that the petitioners signed the house eviction agreement on October 4, 2021. From which it is clear that he deliberately chose the cash option of 90 lacs. The court said in its ruling that the petitioner’s claim is not supported by any evidence. Also, the petitioners did not present any example where any of the 260 residents of the ashram were given such an option or exercised it.
