The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court has ordered a stay on the demolition of the houses of two accused, including Fahim Khan, in the violence case, criticizing the administration for "high-handedness."

The action was taken without providing a hearing to the property owners, the bench noted.

If the court concludes that the demolition was illegal, the authorities would have to pay for the damage caused.
