Delhi HC Halts Uttam Nagar Demolitions Until March 11 in Holi Clash Case

• Delhi High Court ordered MCD to halt demolition action in Uttam Nagar until March 11.
• The order pertains to houses of individuals allegedly involved in a Holi clash where a 26-year-old man was killed.
• Petitioners Jarina and Shahnaz sought protection for their homes in JJ Colony from "arbitrary and illegal" demolition.
• MCD had already razed part of accused Umardeep's house on March 8, claiming it was built on a drain.
• Petitioners argue demolition cannot be punitive and requires due process; alleged personal dispute given communal color.
