P&H High Court Stays Demolitions In Communal Violence-Hit Nuh Until Further Orders

In a suo moto action, the Punjab & Haryana High Court on Monday stayed the ongoing demolition drive in Nuh, which followed the communal clashes.

While issuing notice to the State Government, the division bench of Justice G.S Sandhawalia and Justice Harpreet Kaur Jeewan stayed the demolition until further orders.

It is alleged that the demolition drive to raze the alleged illegal constructions has been ongoing in Nuh since August 3, without any prior notice to the occupants.

Authorities have reportedly demolished several 'illegal' shanties, temporary shops and certain concrete structures, allegedly belonging to persons involved in communal violence which happened last week.
