Overview

• The order requires the Delhi government, MCD and DUSIB to provide temporary accommodation to residents displaced by the May demolition at Andrews Ganj.
• Authorities must coordinate with Delhi Jal Board and BSES Rajdhani to ensure toilets, electricity and water, with temporary shelter at the original site permitted if no alternative is available.
• Justice Sachin Datta recorded allegations that MCD continued demolitions despite a May 14 protective order, describing the stated conduct as “appalling, insensitive and brazen” if proven.
• The court rejected MCD’s bid to shift costs to CPWD and said the apportionment of rehabilitation expenses will be decided later.
• DUSIB was told to fast‑track rehabilitation under policy for the notified JJ cluster, and the MCD Additional Commissioner must appear with a compliance report on November 24.
