SC stays demolition of Curlies restaurant in Goa linked to Sonali Phogat's death

The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the demolition of Goa's Curlies restaurant that came to limelight in recent days following the death of Haryana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and social media influencer Sonali Phogat.



The top court issued the stay order subject to the condition that no commercial activities will take place at the popular beach shack on Anjuna beach in North Goa. "There shall be stay on demolition with respect to structure in Survey No. 42.10 subject to the appellants not undertaking any commercial activities in respect of structures," the court said. Earlier in day, the Goa government began razing down the controversial restaurant for violating the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms, an official said. The demolition squad of the district administration along with Anjuna police personnel had arrived at the beach to demolish the restaurant. The process was stopped by around 11.30am following the SC order.
