The Centre on Friday, 18 October, agreed to give Guru Ravidas’ devotees the same site for temple construction in Delhi where the temple was demolished in August, reports said. The Supreme Court will pass the order in this regard on 23 October.
Attorney General KK Venugopal said the recommendation is being made to ensure peace and order in the matter.
In the previous hearing on 4 October, the apex court had recommended an “amicable solution” for the reconstruction of Guru Ravidas temple on a better location after it was demolished in Tughlaqabad forest area of New Delhi, saying it respects everybody's “sentiments” but law has to be followed.
The temple was demolished by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) citing the top court’s direction. The demolition had led to a series of protests in Delhi, Punjab and Haryana.
