Bombay HC Grants Interim Relief To Govandi School, Stays BMC Demolition Until July 20

Bombay High Court granted interim relief to Tehzeeb Islamic English School in Govandi, directing BMC not to demolish the building until July 20.

The court noted the trust's appeal against the July 7 demolition order was pending before the appellate authority and had not been heard.

The school serves around 600 students from marginalised families in the Baiganwadi slum area.

The trust argued the structure is protected under slum welfare policies and the demolition order violated proper hearing procedures.

The petition claimed the demolition would breach Supreme Court directions on demolition procedures and state monsoon guidelines.
