New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a plea seeking the construction of a permanent structure for the Guru Ravidas temple in the Tughlaqabad
forest area here instead of a wooden porta cabin as suggested by the Centre.
The top court had on October 21 accepted the Centre's revised offer of allotting 400 square metres land at the site for re-construction of the temple which was demolished by the DDA in August following its previous order.
A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Indira Banerjee said it would hear the plea filed by former Member of Parliament Ashok Tanwar and others on November 25.
During the hearing, senior advocate Vikas Singh and advocate Virag Gupta, appearing for Tanwar, said they had informed the apex court during the hearing of the
matter on October 21 that the Centre's offer of porta cabin made of wood was not acceptable to them.
They said the court had also said that the temple should be a permanent structure and not a porta cabin but it was not reflected in the order may be due to typographical and clerical mistakes.
