The Supreme Court Today (Oct 4) said if it finds that authorities in Gujarat acted in contempt of its order on demolition of properties, it will ask them to restore the structures. A bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan was hearing a plea seeking initiation of contempt proceedings for alleged violation of the apex court’s September 17 order which had said that there shall be no demolition of properties, including those accused of crimes, across the country without its permission.
