thebalanced.newsAllahabad High Court Stays Demolition of House in Varanasi's Dal Mandi Area
The Allahabad High Court has stayed the demolition of a house in Varanasi's Dal Mandi area following a petition by Syed Abbas Murtaza Shamsi. The petitioner argued the house was not listed as dilapidated in January 2026, yet received a demolition notice in April 2026 under the name of a deceased person, rendering the process void. The court ordered the municipal corporation to submit the relevant inspection report and will hear the case again on May 7, 2026, maintaining the current status quo until then.
