The Allahabad High Court asks the Uttar Pradesh government to respond to a petition challenging the demolition of a mosque in Saharanpur, while also issuing a stay on the recovery of ₹6.41 crore in damages. The court’s order requires the state to file its reply as the case proceeds.
According to one report, the petitioner argues that officials acted quickly after an eviction order, demolishing the mosque within three days. The petitioner’s submissions focus on the timing and circumstances of the demolition and seek relief from the actions taken.
Another outlet reports the same core development— the High Court seeking the state government’s response to the petition. While the outlets differ slightly in the emphasis of the petition’s claims, they align on the court’s procedural step and the stay related to damage recovery.
