Delhi High Court halts Ajmer Sharif Dargah demolitions

The Delhi High Court has stopped the government from demolishing buildings in the Ajmer Sharif Dargah without first talking to the people affected.

The court said that the government must follow the rules of fairness and give everyone a chance to speak before taking any action.

A man named Syed Meharaj Miya, who works at the Dargah, asked the court to stop the government from removing buildings that he says are not illegal.

The court also told the government to quickly form a committee to manage the Dargah, as required by law.

The court will hear more about this case on February 23, 2026.
