Supreme Court Permits Bulldozer Action with Key Conditions

In a major development, the Supreme Court has allowed the demolition of unauthorized structures on roads and riverbanks but laid down strict conditions.

The court mandated a 15-day notice period for property owners before any action. This notice must detail the nature of the unauthorized construction, specify the particular violations, and provide grounds for demolition. Additionally, the entire demolition process must be videographed to ensure transparency.

This ruling introduces a significant procedural safeguard, ensuring property owners are informed and given time to respond before enforcement actions proceed.
