The Supreme Court on Wednesday quashed the decision of the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh to allot land to a trust named after late party leader Kushabhau Thakre. The Apex court cancelled the state government notification for alloting around 30 acres of land to the Trust whose trustees include senior party leaders L K Advani, M Venkaiah Naidu and Murli Manohar Joshi. The apex court also directed the authority concerned to take possession of the land which was allotted on September 25, 2004 by the then Madhya Pradesh government headed by Uma Bharti. The court passed the order on a petition filed by Akhil Bhartiya Upbhokta Congress, a consumer society in MP, challenging the government's decision on the ground that the land at Basvadiya village was given at a throwaway price to the Trust in violation of laws. The consumer society had approached the apex court after the MP High Court had refused to quash the land allotment.
