The Jharkhand High Court has officially run out of patience. In a move that sends a powerful message across the state, the court has put its foot down and given a direct, non-negotiable order to officials in Jamshedpur: demolish 24 specific illegally constructed buildings, and do it before March 9th.
This isn't just a suggestion; it's a strict deadline with serious implications.
The court, led by a bench including Justice S. Chandrashekhar, was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that brought attention to these unauthorized constructions. It became clear during the proceedings that the court was deeply unhappy with the Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC) for its failure to act sooner.
What really angered the court was the clear evidence that these buildings were put up in violation of established building rules and regulations. The court didn't mince words, strongly suggesting that this kind of widespread illegal activity couldn't happen without some level of collusion between the builders and the local officials who were supposed to be enforcing the law.
The judges made it clear that this "nexus" would not be tolerated.
For years, warnings seem to have been ignored, and now the time for talking is over. The court has demanded "bulldozer action" and wants a full compliance report from the JNAC's Special Officer at the next hearing. The pressure is now squarely on the Jamshedpur administration to follow through.
This order is about more than just 24 buildings. It's a massive warning shot to anyone involved in illegal construction in the region. The High Court has drawn a line in the sand, signaling a new era of zero tolerance for those who think they can bend the rules for profit.
