Municipal Duty to Demolish Dangerous Structures Overrides Tenant Rights | No Stay Even If Owner Lacks Funds: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that statutory obligations to demolish hazardous buildings take absolute precedence over private tenancy rights, even when owners cannot afford demolition. Police support is mandatory for enforcement, and tenants must be given reasonable time to remove belongings - but cannot block demolition on grounds of tenancy or financial incapacity of the owner.
