“Can’t Go With Bulldozer and Wipe Off”: Delhi HC Asks Centre to Hear Stakeholders Before Demolition in Ajmer Sharif Dargah

The article reports that the Delhi High Court intervened to block proposed demolition at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, directing the Centre to hear stakeholders before proceeding. The Court noted the demolition notice was vague and ordered that proper show-cause notices be served and natural-justice principles respected. It emphasised that religious and heritage structures cannot be destroyed on vague government orders, especially when large populations depend on them. The decision reflects judicial insistence on stakeholder consultation, transparency, and due process before any action affecting religious or cultural heritage.
