The Supreme Court has also directed the Chief Secretaries across the country that wherever bulldozer action takes place, today's order must be strictly followed. No house can be demolished arbitrarily in the country.
Three-judge bench
A three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, held that the demolition was 'high handed' and 'lawlessness'.
The bench, also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, remarked, "How can you just enter someone's home and demolish it without following the course of law or serving notice?"
Strong reprimand by Supreme Court
In a historic judgement, the Supreme Court issued a strong reprimand to the UP Govt officials. The Supreme Court stated that demolishing someone’s house without notice or without giving them time, merely by making a public announcement, reflects the authoritarianism of the government and the officials. Wherever this occurs, it cannot be considered the rule of law.
