India's Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot demolish property belonging to crime suspects without following due judicial process, stating such actions violate the rule of law.
The court's judgement mandates that property owners must receive a 15-day notice before any demolition, ensuring they have an opportunity for a personal hearing.
Critics argue that recent demolitions, often targeting properties of Muslims, are part of a broader strategy to marginalize religious minorities under the Modi administration.
The Supreme Court emphasized that only the judiciary has the authority to determine guilt, asserting that demolitions without legal procedures violate the principles of justice.
