Supreme Court Directs Sambhal Demolition Case to High Court

On February 7, 2025, the Supreme Court declined to entertain a contempt plea against Sambhal authorities for allegedly violating its November 2024 demolition guidelines. The petitioner, Mohammed Ghayoor, claimed his property was bulldozed on January 10-11 without prior notice or opportunity to respond, as mandated by the apex court's ruling.
A bench led by Justices B.R. Gavai and K. Vinod Chandran advised the petitioner to approach the Allahabad High Court for redress. This decision underscores the judiciary's emphasis on jurisdictional hierarchy and adherence to due process.
