Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind filed the petition against bulldozing of houses as a punitive measure which senior advocates such as Dushyant Dave, Kabil Sibal, Prashant Bhushan,\u00a0 and PV Surendranath took to the Supreme Court.\u00a0 The Supreme Court has stayed the action of bulldozing the encroachment of the accused in the Hanuman Jayanti riots in Jahangirpuri in the national capital, Delhi, for now.<\/p>\n
It has ordered the North Delhi Municipal Corporation to maintain the status quo for the time being. The court has said that the demolition of encroachments should be stopped for now. Senior advocates Dushyant Dave, Kapil Sibal, PV Surendranath, and Prashant Bhushan argued in court against the municipal corporation’s action.<\/p>\n
Dushyant Dave termed the corporation’s action as illegal and said that no notice was issued to the people before sending a bulldozer to demolish the encroachments. He said that the entire action is illegal and no one was issued a notice.<\/p>\n
Sr Adv Dushyant Dave: “Something serious little requires your immediate intervention. Completely unconstitutional and illegal demolition has been ordered in the Jahangurpuri area.<\/p>\n
He also said, “No notice has been given! Demolition has started today at 9 knowing we\u2019ll mention, it was earlier to be started at 2 pm today”<\/p>\n
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal also stated “There\u2019s another petition which applies all over India, that be listed along with it.” to which the CJI okayed.<\/p>\n
However, it appeared that the mowing down of houses was not stopped until two hours later and Dushyant Dave said, “I\u2019m feeling sad, despite the world knowing that this court passed orders they are not stopping. It sends a wrong message.”<\/p>\n
Asaduddin Owaisi<\/a> President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen called the drive out, stating that “BJP has declared war against the poorest” and it is, indeed, a “hopeless situation. ” BJP has declared war against the poorest. In the name of encroachment, it’s going to destroy homes in Delhi like UP & MP. No notice, no opportunity to go to court, simply punishing poor Muslims for daring to stay alive. @ArvindKejriwal must clarify his dubious role.\u00a0Is his govt\u2019s PWD part of this \u201cdemolition drive\u201d? Did people of Jahingirpuri vote for him for such betrayals & cowardice?! His frequent refrain \u201cpolice are not in our control\u201d won\u2019t work here.\u00a0\u00a0There isn\u2019t even a pretense of legality or morality anymore<\/p>\n Hopeless situation!”<\/p>\n BJP has declared war against the poorest.
