The Delhi High Court on Tuesday told the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) not to undertake demolition action until March 11 against two houses belonging to individuals allegedly involved in the Uttam Nagar Holi clash, which resulted in the death of a 26-year-old man.

“Tell them, between now 4 o’clock and 10.30 a.m. tomorrow when this matter is taken up, nothing should happen. List tomorrow,” said Justice Amit Bansal while dealing with petitions by Jarina, the mother of accused Imran, and Shahnaz, whose children were interrogated by the police in connection with the clash in the south-west Delhi area.
