Uttarakhand HC Stays Order to Destroy Unauthorised Summer Paddy Nurseries

• Uttarakhand High Court provides relief to Udham Singh Nagar farmers by staying an administrative order on summer paddy cultivation.
• Justice Pankaj Purohit heard a petition filed by farmers from Gadarpur tehsil.
• The petition challenged the Udham Singh Nagar district administration's February 4 order to destroy unauthorised summer paddy nurseries.
• Farmers argued the order lacked legal basis and violated their rights, as their land was not waterlogged.
• The court allowed farmers to prepare nurseries and continue cultivation until the next hearing on March 23.
