Mumbai – Nagpur Manpa Commissioner, in the case of demolishing the house of the accused in the riot case, has not been informed about the order of the Supreme Court regarding the demolition of the houses. In the affidavit presented before the Nagpur bench of the High Court, Municipal Commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhary said that the state government has not received any guidelines regarding the order of the Supreme Court.
The state government has been given two weeks to file an answer in this matter.
Violence erupted in Nagpur on 17 March. Violence in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district erupted when a rumor spread that a sheet with sacred texts had been burnt to protest the demand for the removal of Aurangzeb by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
On March 24, the court banned the demolition of the house of the main accused Faheem Khan and also reprimanded the administration. Khan’s two -storey house was demolished before the court order. Following the court order, the authority stopped the work of demolishing the illegal part of another accused Yusuf Sheikh’s house.
Both of them had demanded immediate hearing to stop the sabotage by going to the High Court on the same day.
In the affidavit, the commissioner said that after investigating the case, it was found that the urban planning department also did not know about the decision of the Supreme Court. He said that since the rules of the Supreme Court’s decision could not be given to the zonal officer of Nagpur Municipal Corporation, he continued to follow the relevant legal provisions. Chaudhary said, “Some steps have been taken against the instructions of the Supreme Court, but this has not been deliberately done, but in the absence of information. This has been done in accordance with the provisions of the Slum Act and the current situation.”
