An Allahabad High Court order stays recovery of Rs 6.41 crore in connection with the demolition of a mosque in Saharanpur. The court also asks the Uttar Pradesh government to file a reply, according to reports.
The case concerns a mosque located within the district collectorate office premises, which is said to have been demolished on September 5. Sources describe the demolition as occurring amid heavy police deployment. A petitioner argues that the government acts hastily and challenges the circumstances and legality of the demolition.
While one report focuses on the court’s direction to seek the government’s response and the stay on the money recovery, another provides additional case context, including where the mosque stood and the security presence at the time. Together, the coverage indicates the court is reviewing the petitioner’s claims and the state’s actions before proceeding further.
