Meerut, July 28 -- : In an interim relief to Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan's dream project, Moradabad divisional commissioner Anjaneya Kumar Singh on Monday stayed the Rampur Development Authority's order for the proposed demolition of 38 buildings at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University until the next hearing. This order means that no demolition or bulldozer operation can occur while the appeal is under consideration. The RDA issued the demolition order on July 15. The commissioner's interim order came during the hearing of a statutory appeal filed by the Jauhar Trust, which challenged the RDA's order for the demolition of 38 out of the university's 40 buildings. The trust's appeal was filed by Nikhat Aflak Khan, Azam Khan's sister and a trustee of the university. Rampur district magistrate Ajay Kumar Dwivedi, who also serves as the RDA vice-chairman, had issued the demolition order. The authority alleged that the 38 buildings were constructed without obtaining approval for their building plans, declaring them unauthorized and directing the university to demolish the structures within 15 days. The RDA's decision sparked widespread protests from the university administration, the Jauhar Trust, students, and employees. Students have been staging a sit-in demonstration on the university campus for several days, demanding that the demolition order be withdrawn. The university administration has maintained that the authority acted without adequately considering all relevant facts and supporting documents before issuing the demolition notices. In its appeal, the Jauhar Trust argued that the RDA's order was legally unsustainable and had been issued without proper examination of the available records. Besides approaching the divisional commissioner's court, the trust has also moved the Allahabad high court, seeking judicial intervention against the demolition order. The RDA's demolition order triggered protests and legal challenges from the university and its supporters. The next hearing before the divisional commissioner is expected to determine the future course of the case after both sides present their arguments and supporting evidence. The interim relief has been welcomed by the university administration, students, and employees, who described the stay as a significant reprieve while the legal challenge to the RDA's demolition order continues.
