A division bench of the Gujarat High Court recently dismissed an appeal by a public charitable trust, which ran a park in Juhapura, seeking damages and compensation for destruction of their property to the tune of crores ($10 million) by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
The Society for Promoting Rationality (SPRAT), was running the Muskaan Park in Juhapura on a land owned by the AMC. According to SPRAT, the AMC evicted them on short notice during the Covid-19 pandemic. SPRAT moved the high court in 2021 where a single-judge court had ruled that the court cannot go into the jurisdiction of paying damages, as it requires a detailed inquiry. However, it granted SPRAT the liberty to move the appropriate court to seek damages.
