The Supreme Court Today (Jan 24) scheduled a hearing next week on a plea accusing Sambhal authorities of violating its guidelines by demolishing part of Mohammed Ghayoor’s property without notice. This case challenges the court’s prior directive to prevent unauthorized demolitions, potentially reshaping how such cases are addressed in the future.
The Supreme Court criticized the West Bengal government for not establishing a Municipal Building Tribunal to address illegal constructions on enemy property in Kolkata. Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan directed immediate demolitions of unauthorized structures, warning of potential contempt actions if compliance is not met by the state within two weeks.
