The Delhi High Court on Friday ordered immediate demolition of the illegal structure erected at Subhash Park so as to expedite the process of ascertaining the existence of the 17th century Akbarabadi mosque in the area.A three-judge bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul rejected the Delhi Police's plea seeking postponement of the demolition.The court asked the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) to immediately comply with its July 30 order, which directed the civic authority to demolish the illegal construction with the assistance of the police under the supervision of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).The police, in their plea, had sought deferment of the court's order citing "insufficient" force.They had claimed in August that due to Independence Day, Baba Ramdev's fast in adjacent Ramlila Ground and the ongoing month of Ramzan, they were unable to take immediate action.The court found no substance in the police application and termed it "infructuous". It said the reasons for delay in execution of the court's order do not exist anymore as the events cited by the police are already over.The second plea of the police, seeking a direction to local MLA Shoaib Iqbal to remove the structure, too, failed to find favour with the court.Rejecting the police plea, the bench said: "In our view, it is the bounden duty of the Delhi Police to ensure that peace is maintained and yet law of the land is not breached holding out threats of possible repercussions."While disposing of the plea of the NDMC, the court said that the police will have to provide necessary assistance to the civic body during the demolition of the construction.The court on Friday also passed orders on various applications filed by MLA Iqbal and Hindu Mahasabha president S.S. Omjee.Iqbal's plea to allow namaz at the site has been dismissed by the court, which noted that it was not a monument where namaz could be offered regularly.The MLA had also sought constitution of a committee of eminent citizens to oversee the investigation by the ASI. But, the court said that no supervision committee was required at this stage as the ASI was already looking into the veracity of the claims and the counter claims.The court, in its order, observed that it is only through the rule of law that one can find an appropriate solution to controversial matters.The court also dismissed a plea seeking to restrict media coverage on the issue. "We are not inclined to grant relief as claimed for in this application which seeks to put a restriction on propounding the respective perspectives or press reporting the same. We would, however, expect the press to always conduct itself with responsibility," it said.
