The court, after hearing arguments presented by Senior Advocate Mr. Sanjay Hegde and his legal team on behalf of the petitioners, refused to entertain the special leave petition at this stage.
“At this stage, we are not inclined to entertain the present special leave petition,”– Supreme Court Bench stated in its order.
Even though the SLP was dismissed, the petitioners’ counsel made a humble request for some time to vacate the premises before any potential demolition could be carried out.
The court granted liberty to the petitioners to approach the Allahabad High Court for an extension to vacate the premises.
