The Supreme Court has ordered status quo to be maintained in the demolition case by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation in North Delhi’s Jahangirpuri area yesterday.
A bench of Justices LN Rao and BR Gavai took very seriously the vandalism that took place even after the authorities were informed about the order of the court. The court, while issuing a notice to the officials, said that the next hearing in this case will be held after two weeks. The sabotage continued even after the order of the court came.
Several houses and shops were demolished in Jahangirpuri yesterday as part of an anti-encroachment drive by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation.
