MORADABAD COMMISSIONER STAYS DEMOLITION OF JAUHAR UNIVERSITY

The Moradabad Divisional Commissioner on July 27 granted interim relief to Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, staying the demolition of 38 of its 40 buildings until further orders. The Rampur Development Authority (RDA) had issued the demolition order on July 15, citing violations of building norms. The university, chaired by former Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan, challenged the order in court. The commissioner’s stay provides temporary relief to the institution while legal proceedings continue. The case highlights ongoing disputes over land use and regulatory compliance in Uttar Pradesh.
