CJI Suryakant Slams "Builders' Ploy" in Mehrauli Madrasa Dispute: "Illegal Slum Structure"

• CJI Suryakant criticized petitioners in the Mehrauli madrasa demolition case, calling it an "illegal structure built in a slum area" despite claims of it being a mosque.
• The Supreme Court heard two cases: demolition of a madrasa on Mehrauli-Badarpur Road and alleged conversion of a Maharashtra madrasa into a mosque.
• CJI Suryakant revealed that land in Maharashtra was allotted for a madrasa, but "builders" later manipulated the term to "mosque."
• The CJI warned against illegal occupation and obstructing development, linking it to depriving poor children of their Right to Education.
• The court indicated awareness of those orchestrating these petitions, suggesting misuse of the judicial process.
