New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday made critical observations against the so-called bulldozer justice, saying properties can\u2019t be demolished just because they belong to a person accused of a crime. The court observed that the property can\u2019t even be demolished if the person had been convicted.<\/p>\n
Hearing a batch of pleas against bulldozer\/demolition action often undertaken by authorities against the houses of those accused of serious crimes, the court said the property can\u2019t be demolished even if the person is convicted.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court, however, clarified it will not protect any illegal structure obstructing public roads.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court asked the authorities how anybody\u2019s house could be demolished only because he is an accused. The court said that it proposes to lay down guidelines on the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if he is a convict, still it can\u2019t be done without following the procedure as prescribed by law,\u201d a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan said on pleas against demolition action.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe propose to lay down certain guidelines on a pan-India basis so that the concerns about the issues raised are taken care of,\u201d the bench added.<\/p>\n
Justice KV Viswanathan observed that a \u201cfather may have a recalcitrant son, but if the house is demolished on this ground\u2026this is not the way to go about it\u201d, reported India Today.<\/p>\n
The court said such demolition can happen only if the structure is illegal.<\/p>\n
Justice Viswanathan asked why directions cannot be passed to avoid such cases.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst notice, time to answer, time to seek legal remedies, and then demolition,\u201d he said, reported NDTV.<\/p>\n
Over the past few years, several state governments have demolished houses and properties belonging to those involved in serious crimes.<\/p>\n
It posted the matter for hearing on September 17.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
