Despite a High Court stay order, the DDA demolished around 200 jhuggis in Delhi’s Jailorwala Bagh area. One affected youth said, “They still came and demolished my home,” as families were left homeless and helpless.
The Delhi High Court dismissed AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan’s PIL challenging demolitions in Batla House, stating it could adversely affect individual cases. The bench noted the petition should be withdrawn to allow residents to seek their legal rights. DDA claims demolition notices followed Supreme Court instructions, disputing Khan’s arguments.
