NEW DELHI: Today, 6th May: The Supreme Court of India came down heavily on a Deputy Collector from Andhra Pradesh, who had earlier served as a Tahsildar in Guntur district. The officer was found guilty of acting against the orders of the Andhra Pradesh High Court by forcibly evicting slum-dwellers and demolishing their huts. This action led to the displacement of several poor families and raised serious concerns about contempt of court and abuse of power.
