Justice Amit Bansal allowed Jarina, the mother of accused Imran, and Shahnaz, whose children were interrogated by police as part of the probe, to file a fresh petition in the meantime against the demolition of their residential premises.
During the hearing, the MCD said that its demolition drive was against encroachment by eight houses and was “not selective”. It also said that the petitioners should be asked to state on oath that they have not encroached on public land.
The petitioners had sought directions to protect their residential premises in JJ Colony, Uttam Nagar, from demolition by the MCD. They also sought police protection for themselves and their family members.
Observing that the prayers pertained to two different causes of action, the court asked the petitioners to file two separate pleas for police protection and protection from demolition.
The counsel for the MCD assured the court that demolition would not be carried out on the petitioners’ premises for now.
