What did the Supreme Court say

While hearing a case from Gujarat, the Supreme Court has raised questions on bulldozer justice. The Supreme Court has said that a bulldozer cannot be run on a person’s house just because he is an accused in a case. It is the court’s job to decide whether the accused is guilty or not (and punish him accordingly). In this country governed by law, a person’s mistake cannot be punished by taking action against his family or demolishing his house.

comment on which matter

The Supreme Court said that the court cannot ignore such bulldozer action. Allowing such action to happen would be like running a bulldozer on the rule of law. The Supreme Court gave this order while hearing the petition of a person named Javed Ali from Gujarat. The petitioner said that due to an FIR against a family member, he has been threatened to demolish the house by the Municipal Corporation. SC has issued a notice ordering to maintain the status quo for the time being.
