Here are top quotes from today's hearing:
"We will take a serious view of the demolition which was carried out even after Supreme Court orders, even after NDMC Mayor was informed. We will take that up later."
On Solicitor General Tushar Mehta saying the civic body may remove "stalls, chairs and tables" without notice, the court asked: "Demolition yesterday was of only stalls, chairs, tables etc? To remove these you need a bulldozer?"
"We want affidavits from the petitioner on the notices if served, and counter affidavits, and till then, status quo order will continue."
When lawyer Kapil Sibal, on behalf of the petitioner, urged the court to stay such demolitions, the court said: "We can't put a stay on all kinds of demolitions across the country."
Earlier, senior lawyer Dushyant Dave, representing the Jahangirpuri petitioners, had argued that after a complaint by the Delhi BJP chief to the Mayor of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, a decision was taken to remove encroachments from the violence-hit area. "They took his wish as their command," Mr Dave said.
