Haldwani Evictions : Supreme Court Likely To Hear Plea Against Uttarakhand HC Order Tomorrow

The Supreme Court of India is likely to hear the batch of petitions challenging against the Uttarakhand High Court order based on which demolitions in Haldwani were carried out tomorrow. The matter was mentioned before a bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Abdul Nazeer and Justice PS Narasimha by Advocate Prashant Bhushan. 

Advocate Bhushan, mentioning that a petition filed against the High Court order is listed tomorrow, requested for tagging his petition as well with it.  

"There is a case identical to the matter which has been listed tomorrow. This is the case where more than 5000 houses in Haldwani are being demolished. Please tag my matter with them."

The bench agreed to the request and tagged all the matters together which will be heard tomorrow (5th January 2023).

The case concerns thousands of families living in colonies near Haldwani railway station who will be served eviction notices and given seven days to vacate the area, following an order to that effect issued by the Uttarakhand High Court.
