What Happened
The Supreme Court will resume hearing a contempt petition Thursday regarding illegal commercial structures in Meerut's Central Market residential zone. The bench criticized two senior UP IAS officers for halting demolitions despite the court's December 2024 order prohibiting regularization of illegal constructions. The court directed sealing of 44 properties and questioned why officials succumbed to public pressure instead of following court orders and rule of law.
