Supreme Court Criticizes Demolition of Properties Without Legal Basis, Emphasizes Women’s Protection
In another important ruling, the Supreme Court recently addressed the government’s responsibility to protect vulnerable citizens, particularly women, from unjust actions such as arbitrary demolitions. This ruling came in the wake of several bulldozer actions targeting properties linked to accused individuals. The court stated that any punitive measures, including property demolitions, must be rooted in legal due process and cannot be based solely on accusations. Additionally, the court reinforced that the state has a duty to ensure the safety and rights of women, calling for protection from extrajudicial actions that could disproportionately impact them. This judgment underscores the importance of a fair legal process and the government’s duty to uphold the rule of law while safeguarding the interests of women and marginalized communities.
