The Supreme Court on Tuesday quashed a petition filed by MK Gandhi’s great-grandson, Tushar Gandhi, challenging the Gujarat government’s plans to redevelop the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, Live Law reported.

A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and Rajesh Bindal cited the delay of nearly 2.5 years in filing the petition against the Gujarat High Court’s 2022 decision to dismiss Tushar Gandhi’s plea in this matter.

MK Gandhi founded the Sabarmati Ashram, also referred to as the Gandhi Ashram, in Ahmedabad in 1917.
