The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard the case of removal of 4,000 families from railway land in Uttarakhand. The Supreme Court bench told the Uttarakhand government that so many people have been living there for a long time. Their rehabilitation is necessary, it should happen. The court said that how will these people vacate the land in 7 days? The Supreme Court has stayed the Uttarakhand High Court’s decision to demolish the illegal occupation of 29 acres of railway land. More than 4,000 families live there. The Supreme Court said that now there will be no construction and development on that land. We have not stopped this entire process. Only the High Court order has been stayed.
In this case, the petitioner said that people have this land since before independence. They also have a government lease. The government is saying that the land belongs to it and the Railways is saying it belongs to it. To this, the bench said that if the land definitely belongs to the Railways, it has the right to develop it. But if so many people have been living there for so long, they should be rehabilitated.
