The Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has temporarily stayed the Mhow Cantonment Board's notice to remove "unauthorised construction" at the ancestral house of Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, the chancellor of Al-Falah University, which is at the centre of the Delhi blast probe.

The court passed the interim order on Thursday (November 20) and disposed of the petition filed by a resident of the house who challenged the Board's notice.

Siddiqui was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on November 18 after the agency conducted searches against the group, linked persons and the Faridabad-based university.

The Board issued the notice on November 19, stating that the "unauthorised construction" must be removed within three days, failing which the Board would remove it under relevant legal provisions and recover the cost from the occupant or the legal heirs of the property owner.
