The Delhi High Court on Monday (June 9, 2025) refused to give an immediate stay on the demolition of alleged illegal constructions in Batla House in the capital.
The court was hearing a petition filed by AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan and posted it on June 11, the day of the scheduled demolition.
“We are not going to stay it [for now] because we are told that the Supreme Court has declined...,” the court said.
The court also observed that the single judge bench had already granted interim relief to several persons in locality on their respective petitions.
Earlier in the day, another bench of the court granted status quo to certain residents of the area. A similar relief was granted in relation to a property in Batla House area on June 4 by the court.
