The Supreme Court of India, on Tuesday, emphasized that the guidelines it plans to establish regarding the demolition of unauthorized constructions will apply nationwide and uniformly to all citizens, regardless of their religion. The court clarified that the mere fact that an individual is an accused or even a convicted person cannot serve as grounds for the demolition of their property. The upcoming guidelines will ensure that demolitions are conducted in a fair and secular manner, underscoring the principle that India is a secular country, and laws apply equally to everyone.
