India's Supreme Court has temporarily halted the demolition of private properties without prior court approval until October 1, addressing the controversial practice known as 'bulldozer justice'. This practice, often associated with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, involves demolishing properties of individuals accused of crimes, purportedly to target illegal constructions. Rights groups and critics argue that it unlawfully punishes accused individuals and often targets minority communities. The court emphasized that demolitions must follow legal procedures and cannot be used arbitrarily, stating that even one illegal demolition contradicts constitutional principles. The ruling excludes unauthorized constructions on public roads, footpaths, and similar areas. The court aims to develop formal guidelines to regulate property demolitions under municipal laws.
