Supreme Court Questions 'Bulldozer Justice': Will The Misuse Of Bulldozers Stop?

The Supreme Court today came down heavily on 'bulldozer justice', questioning how a house can be demolished just because it belongs to an accused or even a convict in a criminal case. The court also proposed a set of pan-India guidelines to be followed before demolishing homes. From UP to MP to even Delhi,  'Bulldozer justice' has become increasingly common in several parts of the country where homes of accused in criminal cases are demolished. The practice has come under strong criticism, with many questioning how the action can be taken even before allegations against a person are proved, but governments have defended it saying it sends out a strong message against crime. The Supreme Court has said it will hear the matter again on September 17 and invited suggestions to tackle this issue. But why did the court feel the need to use such strong words. How justified is this move and the politics that is at the centre of it.
