The Story in Brief
The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition by the Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust against demolition notices for buildings of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur. The court noted that an appellate authority had already granted an interim stay on the demolition.
The Moradabad Divisional Commissioner had on Monday stayed the demolition of 38 campus buildings until final hearing. The Rampur Development Authority had ordered demolition by July 30, alleging the buildings were constructed without approved maps. A sit-in protest by students has temporarily halted. The next hearing is August 3.
The Indian Opinion
This case has fuelled claims of political vendetta against Azam Khan, but the court's restraint is a reminder that due process matters. The RDA acted under the 1973 Act, yet the appellate stay shows the order was not beyond question. Watch whether the commissioner upholds the stay, or if maps were truly missing. The real test is whether approvals, not politics, decide the buildings' fate.
