15-day notice, videography of demolition: SC issues guidelines on ‘bulldozer justice’

The Supreme Court issued guidelines for property demolitions, emphasising due process. Demolition solely due to an occupant’s accused or convicted status is deemed unconstitutional. Mandatory show cause notices, video recording of demolitions, and compensation for unlawful actions are mandated. These guidelines, applicable nationwide, aim to protect the right to shelter and prevent arbitrary demolitions.
