JODHPUR, Nov. 13 -- The Rajasthan High Court has directed authorities not to take action against structures in sensitive border areas until proceedings initiated through show-cause notices are decided, while ensuring that affected persons get an opportunity to present their replies and supporting documents, a lawyer familiar with the case said on Thursday. A Division Bench of Justice Vinit Kumar Mathur and Justice Chandra Shekhar Sharma passed the directions while disposing of a special appeal filed by Gaphur, a resident of Barmer, against a single bench order concerning religious structures within 50 km of the India-Pakistan border. The appellant alleged that the state was demolishing structures without providing a reasonable opportunity of hearing or waiting for replies to show-cause notices. Additional advocate generals Sajjan Singh Rathore and BL Bhati assured the court that the competent authority would consider the replies, supporting documents and judgments cited by affected persons. dinesh bothra...
