The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday retrained the Nuh administration from carrying out the demolitions. Following the orders, the administration stopped the drive. The High Court will take up the matter at 2 pm again on Monday.
Deputy Commission Dhirendra Khadgata after the order from the state’s high court, has directed the administration and concerned teams to stop the demolition drive with immediate effect and to stop any illegal construction from coming up on encroached land.
According to the sources, the order has been given by a bench of Justice GS Sandhawalia who has been taking suo moto cognisance (the power of the court to take up cases on its own) of the demolitions in Nuh. The action was taken by the administration following the communal clashes in Nuh.

The officials involved in the matter informed that at least 94 houses and 212 other structures were razed on Sunday, taking the total number of buildings demolished by the authorities to more than 750 since the drive began on August 3, officials aware of the matter said.
