New Delhi: On the petition of a person from Gujarat, the Supreme Court made a strong comment on 'Bulldozer Justice'. The Supreme Court 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. In this country governed by law, a person's mistake cannot be punished by taking action against his family or demolishing his house. 

Supreme Court made a strong comment.

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 court of Justice Hrishikesh Roy, Justice Sudhashu Dhulia, and Justice SVN Bhatti made this remark while hearing a petition.

Javed Ali has filed a petition.

A person named Javed Ali from Gujarat filed a petition in the Supreme Court saying that due to an FIR against a member of his family, he had been given a notice by the Municipal Corporation to demolish his house. The Supreme Court put a stay on the demolition of the house. The court has issued a notice to the government and the Municipal Corporation, ordering them to maintain the status quo for the time being.

The Supreme Court has already made such a comment.

Let us tell you that recently the Supreme Court had also declared the demolition of houses with bulldozers as wrong. The bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice KV Vishwanathan had said that how can someone's house be demolished just because he is an accused? Even if he is guilty, this cannot be done without following the procedure prescribed by law. This comment of the court was welcomed by the opposition parties.
