Today, 22nd October, the Supreme Court temporarily halted bulldozer actions linked to the Bahraich violence case, agreeing to review challenges against demolition notices. The Uttar Pradesh government assured no action will be taken until the next hearing. Concerns about sensitive demolition practices prompted this temporary stay for further examination.
A special bench of the High Court temporarily stayed the demolition of allegedly illegal structures in Bahraich, providing the accused 15 days to respond to the notices. The court emphasized the need for clarity in construction authorizations and directed state authorities to consider responses carefully before making decisions. The next hearing is set for October 23.
