High Court Quashes Samajwadi Party Office Eviction in Moradabad

The Allahabad High Court overturned Moradabad administration's order to evict Samajwadi Party from their district bungalow office. The magistrate's attempt to reclaim the property failed as the court found no illegality in the original allotment and declared Nagar Nigam as the rightful custodian.

The Allahabad High Court has overturned the Moradabad district administration's decision demanding the Samajwadi Party to vacate their office bungalow. This ruling comes after a legal challenge from party leader Jaiveer Singh.

District Magistrate Anuj Singh had canceled the bungalow's allotment, formerly in Mulayam Singh Yadav's name since the last 31 years, resulting in a notice for the party to vacate. An attempt was made by local authorities on October 6 to seize the property.

The court found no wrongdoing in the allotment, emphasizing that the property belongs to Nagar Nigam, not the state government, thus invalidating the eviction notice.
