During the resumed hearing of the case on Friday, Advocate General of Punjab, Vinod Ghai, briefed the Bench about the summary of the current status of 98 identified structuresthat are to be demolished as per the committee report.
The demolition drive in Nuh came under the high court’s scanner on August 7 when the court of Justices G S Sandhawalia and Harpreet Kaur Jeevan took suo motu cognisance and halted the exercise. Referring to the demolition drive, the high court had then asked if it was an ”exercise of ethnic cleansing”
The Haryana government has defended its demolition drive in Nuh, saying no structure was razed against the law and that the exercise was "not remotely a case of ethnic cleansing".
