The Supreme Court banned the government from taking action using bulldozers. The Supreme Court, while pronouncing its verdict on Wednesday, said no bulldozing action could be taken against the accused or guilty without following the rules. The court also banned the bulldozer operation. The court also gave strict instructions to the officials in its judgment. The court said that if you misbehave, you will have to pay the fine out of your own pocket.
Courts are strict with officials
The Supreme Court said the state and its officials cannot take any action arbitrarily. Compensation is payable when the rights of a defendant or convicted person are arbitrarily violated by the state. The Supreme Court said that strict law must be used to deal with arbitrary actions of the government. Our Constitution does not allow for the abuse of government power. If the government insists on having its own way, the courts will simply not tolerate it.
“Compensation can definitely be given”
The court said public officials who take the law into their own hands should be held accountable for their arbitrary actions. Therefore it is illegal. We have set binding guidelines that will be followed by national authorities in this situation.
The Supreme Court said that we see that the accused also have certain rights and safeguards and when officials are asked to take arbitrary action, the state and authorities cannot take arbitrary action against the accused or the criminal without following due process of law. If accountability is pursued, there should be institutional mechanisms to deal with it. Compensation is definitely possible. Such officials are not immune to abuse of power.
