Supreme Court halts Jahangirpuri demolition for next 2 weeks

New Delhi, 21/4: The Supreme Court on Thursday extended till further orders its direction for maintaining status quo on the demolition drive in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri area which witnessed massive clashes during the ‘Hanuman Jayanti’ procession.

 

 

A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and B R Gavai issued notice to the Centre, and other authorities on a batch of petitions filed by Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind questioning the legality of the move.

 

The top court said it would take a serious view of the matter if it was found as correct that the demolition in North Delhi was carried out even after the order of status quo was passed on Wednesday.
