MP High Court Pulls Up Then Gwalior Collector For Demolishing Shops Despite Interim Protection Order, Refrains From Initiating Contempt

Live Law  

The Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in a plea against lease termination and subsequent demolition of certain shops in 2022 expressed its displeasure with the then Collector, Gwalior for "giving a lame excuse" that since he was not a party to the matter he was unaware about the court's interim order protecting the shopkeepers from dispossession. A division bench of Justice Sunita Yadav and Justice Milind Ramesh Phadke in its order said, "Though this court has not gone into the merits of the matter, but is constrained to observe the behaviour of the Revenue Authorities, specially the then Collector, Gwalior who had in total disregard of the interim order of this Court dated 09.07.2022 had carried out demolition activities on 02.08.2022". The court noted that the then Collector's reply gave a "very lame excuse that since none of the Revenue Authorities including him was a party to the Appeal, therefore, he was not in the knowledge" of the court's July 9 interim order directing that the appellants may not be "forcibly dispossessed". While issuing notice on the plea on July 9, 2022 the high court in its interim order directed the state authorities not to "forcibly dispossess the appellants".
