SC judge cites couplets to emphasise right to shelter

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: Supreme Court judge B.R Gavai on Wednesday cited a couplet of famous Hindi poet 'Pradeep' to highlight that every person wishes to have his own home and does not want this dream to be shattered ever. "Apna ghar ho, apna aangan ho, is khawab mein har koi jeeta hai; Insaan ke dil ki ye chahat hai ki ek ghar ka sapna kabhi naa choote'," the introduction to the judgement read. "This is how the importance of shelter has been described by the famous Hindi poet 'Pradeep'," the bench said. Laying down pan-India guidelines, the Supreme Court bench said no property should be demolished without a prior show cause notice and the affected must be given 15 days to respond.
