People gathered outside the Gaffran mosque in the Banbhoolpura area of Haldwani as the Supreme Court gave its verdict of a stay order against the high court's order to remove the encroachments in Haldwani. The people expressed their relief and happiness after the top court's order.

Bhupendra Arya who filed a PIL in the court against the displacement of the majorly Muslim community in Haldwani expressed a sense of relief and satisfaction. After the judgement, he said, "We thank the Supreme Court to give this decision in our favour that was affecting 60,000 people. I thank the court for restoring our confidence in the government and the constitution of the country."

Another person who stood in the crowd outside the masjid said, "Every woman and man had expectations with the Supreme Court and we fully believe that even in future the apex court's decision will be in our favour. The ministers of the Centre will go to the court to show their papers, we have proof and believe the further investigation will also be in our favour."

"Regarding the notice given to us by the railways, no investigation can be done in seven days. We are extremely thankful to the court for giving this decision in favour of the poor," said another person who appreciated the court's decision.

Mohammad Akram, imam of the Namra masjid in Haldwani affirmed, "We expected this from our apex court. It is relieving for us and we will further raise our voices regarding the railway encroachment notice. I believe a proper investigation and introspection need to be done in the context of the land which belongs to the railways. And if the land belongs to railways, then the people need to be properly rehabilitated."

Mohammad Javed Akhtar Qadri stated, "Justice was served and we expect that even in future the Supreme court will give the verdict in our favour. I expect that the people whose homes lie on the land claimed by the railways are compensated and rehabilitated."
