The Supreme Court on Thursday granted interim protection for a week to two petitioners facing demolition of properties in Uttar Pradesh, and directed that status quo be maintained by the parties till then.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta asked the petitioners, who said that partial demolition of their residential or marriage hall premises was already carried out by the authorities, to approach the Allahabad High Court for appropriate order.
The bench said it is granting interim protection for a week considering that partial demolition has already been affected.
“Further considering the aforesaid fact, we grant interim protection for a period of one week from today as status quo would be maintained by the parties,” the bench said.
The top court made clear that interim protection granted by it would not influence the high court in entertaining the petition and considering the prayer for stay on its own merits.
