Supreme Court of India temporarily stops Gujarat land transfers in Gir Somnath due to allegations of illegal demolitions.

The Supreme Court of India has prohibited the Gujarat government from transferring lands in Gir Somnath district until further notice, amid allegations of illegal demolitions of Muslim religious structures. The court declined to impose a status quo on the demolitions but noted that the lands should remain under government control pending a hearing on November 11. A contempt petition alleges violations of prior orders regarding demolitions without permission.
