SC stays order for removal of encroachments from railway land in Haldwani
The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Uttarakhand High Court order for removal of encroachments from 29 acres of land claimed by the railways in Haldwani, calling it a “human issue” and saying 50,000 people cannot be uprooted overnight.
Amid protests by residents who insist they have title to the land, a bench of Justices S K Kaul and A S Oka said a workable solution needs to be found.
