Can\'t impose ban on demolitions across states: SC

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to pass an interim direction staying the demolition of properties of accused involved in violent protests across various states. The top court was hearing pleas filed by Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind seeking directions to the Uttar Pradesh government and other states to ensure that no further demolition of properties of alleged accused in recent cases of violence is carried out. Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, said there is a powerful argument for the rule of law, but the factual edifice may be a little "wobbly". On June 16, the apex court had stated that "everything should be fair" and authorities should strictly follow the due procedure under the law while giving the Uttar Pradesh government and its authorities three days to respond to pleas which alleged that the houses of those accused in last week's violence were illegally demolished. The top court was hearing pleas filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind seeking directions to the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure that no further demolitions of properties of alleged accused of recent violence are carried out in the State.
