Summary:
The development took place on a contempt of court petition filed against CHB Chairman AK Sinha and another respondent by Rajiv Kumar and other petitioners through counsel AS Nabhewala. In the petition, Nabhewala had alleged willful disobedience of an order dated July 19, 2013, passed by High Court on a bunch of writ petitions. Referring to the order, Nabhewala added the respondent board and the Chandigarh Administration had planned, at that time, to introduce need-based changes in the dwelling units, keeping in view the hardship being faced by the owners/possessers. Referring to the case in hand, Nabhewala added that the notice dated July 6, 2018, for demolition had been served upon the petitioner, in spite of the earlier order. Satisfied with the stand of the counsel for the respondents that demolition would be carried out only after complying with the High Court decision, Nabhewala stated that “no grievance survives”..
