The Delhi High Court has temporarily halted the demolitions for 11 Batla House residents, requiring them to withdraw their Supreme Court plea. The DDA opposed this, citing a Supreme Court order for demolitions in Khasra No. 279 and raising concerns about the residents’ legal actions. The DDA is accused of inadequate notice before demolitions.
The Uttarakhand High Court criticised the police and civic authorities for their incompetence during the Nainital communal violence and demolition drive. The case arose from a petition challenging the demolition notice issued to the accused’s wife.
Uttarakhand High Court pulled up authorities for issuing a demolition notice to a rape accused without due process. The court warned against violating Supreme Court guidelines on property demolition.
The Supreme Court stayed the demolition notice issued to a Dargah in Nashik, granting interim relief to the petitioner. The Court also sought a report from the Bombay High Court on why the plea was not listed for urgent hearing.
