The Rajasthan High Court ordered a stay on demolition and punitive measures against the property of 68‑year‑old Gafur in Barmer, pending a response to a show‑cause notice.
The Rajasthan High Court issued an interim order preventing any demolition or punitive action on the land owned by 68‑year‑old Gafur in Barmer district. The court directed that no further steps be taken until the authorities receive a written response to the show‑cause notice that was served to them.
According to the court’s directive, the administration must complete the pending procedural formalities before proceeding with any bulldozer operation. The order aims to ensure that due process is observed and that the property owner is given an opportunity to present his case.
The decision was reported by local media, noting that the high court’s intervention comes amid concerns over the legality of the demolition drive. The court’s stay remains in effect until the notice is answered and the matter is fully adjudicated.
Legal experts say such stays are common when there is a dispute over land ownership or when procedural lapses are alleged. The outcome will depend on the forthcoming response from the authorities and any subsequent hearings.
The case highlights the judiciary’s role in overseeing executive actions related to property disputes in Rajasthan, especially in remote districts like Barmer.
