Delhi High Court Declines Urgent Hearing on Demolition Near Satya Niketan Collapse Site
The Delhi High Court on September 14 declined to urgently hear a plea challenging the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's decision to demolish the building adjoining the collapsed Satya Niketan hostel. The plea claimed demolition proceeded without clearing debris from the hostel's basement, possibly trapping people. The court questioned the basis of this claim, noting authorities likely conducted technical audits before demolition. The Satya Niketan building collapsed on September 6 during repair work, killing seven. The court had earlier ordered a high-level MCD inquiry into the incident.
