They are hand-in-gloves with the DDA and other agencies, so that the land is vacated at the earliest, he alleged.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners alleged that the residents were beaten up by the police during the demolition drive and not allowed to take their belongings before their houses were razed.<\/p>\n<p>This allegation was refused by DDA&#8217;s counsel Ajay Varma, saying they have been &#8220;faithfully abiding&#8221; by the directions made by the court on October 31 and November 1.<\/p>\n<p>The bench also objected to the allegations that DDA was hand-in-gloves with the developers in the demolition drive, saying &#8220;it is for us to satisfy that everything is in place.<\/p>\n<p>We will ensure that human rights are not violated&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will take a strong action against anybody who has breached our orders,&#8221; it said, adding that &#8220;it was our concern over right to life, so we have taken up this issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are here to protect their life,&#8221; the bench observed and said persons ineligible for relocation as per the DDA and whose houses were demolished in the drive should not be removed from the area so that they can prove their eligibility for relocation and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court today said it will ensure that the right to life of persons displaced from Kathputli Colony here were not violated while refraining from taking action on the allegation that developers were hand-in- gloves with the DDA during the demolition drive.
