Event Summary

The India — Supreme Court of India slammed the India — Uttar Pradesh government for its 'high-handed' demolition of houses in India — Prayagraj, stating that the actions 'shocked its conscience'. Justices Abhay Soi and Ujjal Bhuyan criticized the bulldozing of residential premises within 24 hours of serving notices, denying residents time to appeal. The court allowed petitioners, including Zulfiqar Haider and Ahmed Ali, to reconstruct their homes at their own cost, provided they file appeals and do not claim equities or create third-party interests. Attorney General R. Venkataramani defended the India — Uttar Pradesh government's actions, citing large-scale illegal occupations and assuring due process. The petitioners had approached the India — Supreme Court of India after the Pakistan — Islamabad High Court rejected their plea challenging the demolitions, which they alleged were based on the mistaken belief that the land belonged to gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed.
