A Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae blamed the MCD for the Saidulajab building collapse that killed six people and injured fourteen. The report stated that authorities were aware of unauthorised construction for years but failed to take effective action, making the tragedy a result of prolonged regulatory neglect.
The Supreme Court ruled that unauthorised constructions must be demolished, emphasising that the law should not protect rule-breakers. Allowing such actions would create a habit of ignoring rules and escaping responsibility.
