The Allahabad High Court has stopped the proposed demolition of 48 residential and commercial properties in the Dibiyapur area of Auraiya district and ordered maintenance of status quo. The court has asked the state government to file its response within a week after petitioners challenged the demolition action linked to a government order. The matter was brought before the court on an urgent basis as demolition was expected to begin on April 16. The next hearing is scheduled for April 29, when further directions will be considered.
The Allahabad High Court has directed that the proposed demolition of 48 houses and shops in the Dibiyapur area of Auraiya district will not proceed for now and instructed authorities to maintain the present condition of the properties until further notice. The court’s intervention came after petitioners approached it on urgent grounds, stating that demolition activity was expected to begin without a complete examination of their claims.
The matter was heard by a division bench comprising Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Justice Vivek Varma. During the hearing, the court asked the state government to submit its reply within one week to clarify its position on the dispute. The next hearing in the case has been fixed for April 29, when further consideration will take place based on the responses filed.
The dispute is linked to a government order issued earlier that initiated the demolition process in the Nahar Bazar area of Dibiyapur. The petitioners have challenged this order, stating it was issued on September 30, 2025, and that their ownership documents were not properly reviewed before the action was taken. They have argued that valid records supporting their possession were submitted but not considered by the authorities.
The petition also highlighted that demolition was expected to begin early on April 16, which led to immediate legal intervention. Following this urgency, the court ensured that no physical changes or demolition work takes place while the matter is under judicial consideration.
Petitioners further submitted that the proposed action would affect both residential homes and commercial establishments, which could lead to displacement and financial loss. They have requested that the demolition order be put on hold until a proper legal examination of the documents and procedure is completed.
The High Court, after reviewing the initial submissions, directed the state to clarify its stance through a detailed reply before any further steps are taken. It also made it clear that the status of the properties must remain unchanged until the next hearing. The case will now depend on the government’s response and the evaluation of the documents presented by the affected parties.
