Encroachers had moved the Allahabad HC, but were denied relief
"The encroachers had occupied the land in 2009. Before the demolition, notice was issued on November 20 to the people living here (Bakhtawarpur village) and around this place," said Rajesh Kumar Singh, Noida authority's officer on special duty. He said the encroachers had moved the Allahabad High Court to get stay on the demolition order, but were denied relief by the judiciary.
