The Supreme Court of India has condemned 'bulldozer justice', asserting that mere allegations of criminal involvement do not justify the demolition of a person's property. This ruling comes from a case involving Javed Ali from Gujarat, who faced threats of demolition from municipal authorities after an FIR against a family member. The court emphasized that punishing a family for one member's alleged crime undermines the rule of law. It stated that such actions can be viewed as 'running a bulldozer over the laws of the land.' The court has ordered a stay on the demolition and requested the state government to respond within four weeks. This is the second instance this month where the Supreme Court has addressed the legality of such demolitions, indicating a push for stricter guidelines to prevent arbitrary actions.
