2019 demolition: SC slams UP authorities, directs it pay Rs 25 lakh to house owner
NEW DELHI: Coming down heavily on the Uttar Pradesh authorities for its "high-handed" approach, the Supreme Court on Wednesday directed it to compensate a man, whose house was razed in 2019 for road widening, with Rs 25 lakh.
A bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra further asked the UP chief secretary to conduct an inquiry into the matter pertaining to the illegal demolition in Maharajganj district.
"You can't come with bulldozer and demolish the house overnight," remarked the bench, which was hearing the matter pertaining to demolition, which took place in 2019 for the road widening project.
