A court here stayed an order directing Delhi Police to unlock the residential portion of the Nizamuddin Markaz, which was locked after a case was registered against several people attending a religious congregation in violation of COVID-19 guidelines in March.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) passed the direction on a plea by Delhi police, which approached the sessions court against an order passed by a magisterial court on September 11.
The magistrate had directed Delhi Police to inspect the premises within five days and hand over to the family of Maulana Saad, the keys of the residential portion of the Nizamuddin Markaz.
The court had said that every person, who is a citizen of India, is entitled to the right to life and liberty under the Constitution and the right to access to residential property would fall within one of the sacrosanct rights.
