Bulldozer Action

The petitioner’s lawyer requested a delay, citing the absence of the cross-examining lawyer due to personal reasons. The court accepted the request and postponed the hearing.

Supreme Court has declined to entertain a new Public Interest Litigation (PIL) concerning the controversial use of bulldozers in demolition actions.

The petition demands that compensation for wrongful actions be recovered from guilty officials, along with appropriate punitive measures

The court had previously banned bulldozer actions across India in response to a petition filed by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on September 17
