The appellants have moved the top court against an order of the High Court which effectively allowed the demolition of slums and eviction of the slum dwellers, without any alternate arrangements having been made for the slum dwellers.
The matter was mentioned today before Chief Justice of India NV Ramana who agreed to list it on Monday.
“This is regarding Jhuggis of Sarojini Nagar. The protection is only till Monday. Please grant status quo and list this,” Senior Counsel Vikas Singh submitted on behalf of the appellants.
“We will list on Monday,” the CJI said.
While the counsel expressed apprehension that demolitions might happen on Monday and a status quo should be allowed, no such order was passed.
