Bahraich Violence: UP Govt Puts Hold on Demolitions Amid Supreme Court Review

The Uttar Pradesh government has told the Supreme Court that no action will be taken on demolition notices issued to some individuals linked to the October 13 Bahraich violence until Wednesday. The state had sent these notices to three people allegedly involved in communal clashes that erupted over music being played during a religious procession.

During a hearing, the Supreme Court cautioned the Yogi Adityanath-led government against rushing into "bulldozer action," subtly warning them of the risks of violating court orders. However, the court clarified that it wouldn’t interfere if the structures marked for demolition were illegal. For now, the state has been told to hold off on any action until the next hearing.

The top court is reviewing a plea from the three individuals who received demolition notices, challenging the state's decision. Senior advocate Chander Uday Singh, representing the accused, argued that the state had only given three days to respond to the notices. He urged the court for an urgent hearing on the matter.

It's important to note that in a previous ruling on September 17, the same bench had ordered that no buildings should be demolished without Supreme Court approval, unless they are illegal encroachments on public land. The court recently reserved its judgment on petitions seeking protection against the use of "bulldozer actions" as punishment by state authorities.
