INDC Network: New Delhi: Bulldozer action is against the constitution, demolishing only the house of the accused is unacceptable... Big decision of Supreme Court
Arbitrary bulldozer action is against the constitution
In view of the increasing bulldozer action in the country, the Supreme Court has made a serious comment on this. The court clearly said that no government has the right to snatch the property of any citizen without proper legal basis. The court clearly said that demolishing the house of the accused on the basis of mere suspicion is unconstitutional and this type of action is a violation of Article 300A of the Constitution, in which the right to property has been considered important.
Former Chief Justice objected to Bulldozer Justice
The former Chief Justice also commented on this matter and said that 'bulldozer justice' is against the rule of law and allowing it is like demolishing the right to property of a person under the Constitution. On September 17, the Supreme Court had temporarily banned bulldozer action so that the legal aspects of such action could be looked into.
Order for 25 lakh compensation and legal warning
The Supreme Court, while giving its final decision in the case related to the demolition of a house in Maharajganj district of Uttar Pradesh, ordered the state government to pay a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the affected person. This house was demolished in a bulldozer action under a road project. The court said that the officials will be responsible for such actions and legal action will be taken for such incidents in future. This decision of the court is giving a message of awareness and legal warning about bulldozer action across the country.
