india โ๏ธ Allahabad HC halts mosque demolition damage recovery
The Allahabad High Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to respond within three weeks regarding the demolition of a mosque in Saharanpur. The court also stayed the recovery of a โน6.41 crore fine imposed by the city magistrate on the mosque management. This action followed a writ petition challenging the demolition order issued on July 16, 2026. Authorities demolished the 315-square-metre mosque on September 5, after the district judge dismissed the appeal on September 2. An investigation is underway after a well was found beneath the demolished structure. ๐
