At Khadda Basti, an informal settlement in Jaipur, nonright holders have encroached on the land meant for Saket Colony residents for years. Most of the residents work as labourers and domestic workers. In 2011, members of Saket Vikas Colony Samiti moved the high court after Jaipur Development Authority could not get the land vacated. When high court directed the state government to get the land vacated, the matter moved to Supreme Court as settlers insisted for regularisation of land. Supreme Court also upheld High Court order and ordered to 534 households to move to a government affordable housing scheme in Paldi Meena, five kilometers away. The court directed the government to to get the land vacated and auction 55 plots located on it. Following the court orders, in October 2017, all the houses in the Khadda Basti were razed. A few religious structures were left intact. The Basti residents relocated to Paldi Meena and Jaisinghpura Khor areas in Jaipur. However, there are complaints of lack of basic amenities at these sites.
