In the contempt petition, Goel alleged that on March 29 this year, these officials had razed the construction done by him despite orders of the high court on July 14 and December 8, 2021, by which the demolition notice issued by YEIDA was stayed.

"It is stated that demolition notice issued by the appellate authority has been quashed by writ court by judgement and order dated 14.07.2021.
