The Supreme Court of India criticized the bulldozer justice approach, stating, "Even if he is a convict, still it can't be done without following the procedure as prescribed by law." The court's bench, including Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan, declared that demolitions cannot occur solely based on accusations. The court clarified that illegal structures blocking public roads are exceptions. It plans to set nationwide guidelines to prevent such actions. The next hearing on this issue is scheduled for September 17, 2024. Justice Viswanathan emphasized the need for due process before any demolition.
