The Supreme Court, taking a strong stance against "bulldozer justice," established nationwide criteria for property demolition on Wednesday. It stated that the Executive cannot act as a judge, find an accused person guilty, and demolish his home.
Leaders of the opposition, such as Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party and Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM, have praised the Supreme Court's ruling banning the use of bulldozers. The Supreme Court established strict rules to stop "bulldozer justice." According to the statement, the executive cannot convict someone or act as a judge and order to destroy an accused person's property.While criticizing the Yogi Adityanath-led administration in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav praised the Supreme Court's decision. He stated, "The bulldozer, which became a symbol of this (BJP) government, has been criticized by the Supreme Court."
"What can you expect from those who know how to demolish houses?" Yadav questioned, expressing gratitude to the Supreme Court for the ruling. Speaking at a public protest in Sismau, Yadav stated, "At least after today, their bulldozer will stay parked in the garage forever, now no one's house will be demolished."
"What can be a bigger comment against the government than this?" the SP leader went on. We trust the court completely. At some point, our MLAs will be free to join us. They will work in the same manner as before.
Asaduddin Owaisi, the head of AIMIM, referred to the Supreme Court's "bulldozer judgement" as a "welcome relief." "The most important part of it is not its eloquence, but the enforceable guidelines," he wrote in a post on X. It is hoped that they will stop state governments from punishing Muslims and other marginalized groups collectively.
"We should keep in mind that @narendramodi has praised bulldozer raj, which the Supreme Court today referred to as "a lawless state of affairs," Owaisi stated.
Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, was also criticized by Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole, who stated that he should limit his political activities to Uttar Pradesh. In many states, the BJP government has begun to use the ED, CBI, and bulldozer improperly in an attempt to instill fear. "We are happy that the SC has ignored them," Patole was cited by ANI.
It is unlawful for this 'Dadagiri' to be taking place in the name of bulldozer action. Bharadwaj stated, "Wherever these bulldozer actions are being taken, the government and the state's high court must have taken cognizance of it earlier."
Brinda Karat, the leader of the CPI(M), hoped the decision about the bulldozer's activities had been made sooner. "I applaud the Supreme Court's ruling that bulldozer operations are unlawful and malicious. In a statement, Karat stated, "I only wish the judgment had come earlier because it would have saved the demolition of countless homes throughout BJP-led states."
While Congress' Uttar Pradesh chairman Ajay Rai stated that the ruling will put an end to "jungle raj" in the state, BSP president Mayawati expressed hope that the "terror" of bulldozers would now undoubtedly end.

The "bulldozer justice" of SCs
The Supreme Court rendered a decision on Wednesday regarding "bulldozer actions" taken by state governments to destroy the homes of criminal suspects.
On Wednesday, a bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan said that the Executive violates the rule of law if it arbitrarily destroys a person's home based solely on the suspicion that the resident is guilty of a crime.
According to the court, "in our considered view, it will be totally unconstitutional for more than one reason if a citizen's house is demolished merely because he is an accused or even a convict, that too without following the due process as prescribed by law," as reported by ANI.

The court ruled that the property owner must be given 15 days' notice before any demolition can take place.
According to the court, the notification must be posted on the outside of the building and delivered to the owner via registered mail. The type of improper structure, the specifics of the infraction, and the reasons for demolition must all be covered in the notification.
Any infraction of these rules will result in contempt, and the demolition must be captured on camera.
The Supreme Court also ruled that the state and its representatives could not act arbitrarily or excessively, saying that the executive branch could not convict someone or decide to destroy an accused person's property.
