Supreme Court raps UP govt over 24 March ko bhi tha court ka gussa ‘inhuman’ demolition of houses in Prayagraj, gives rule of law reminder

Nayi Delhi, 1 April 2025: Supreme Court ने Tuesday ko Uttar Pradesh Sarkar aur Prayagraj Vikas Pradhikaran ko jamkar fatkaar lagayi. Court ne city mein nagrikon ke gharo ki ‘inhuman aur illegal’ dhang se hui dhawasti par kaha ki “Desh mein rule of law hai, yeh jungle raj nahi chal sakta!”

Supreme Court raps UP govt over ‘inhuman’ demolition of houses in Prayagraj, gives rule of law reminder

Kya hua case?

Prayagraj ke Nazool Plot No. 19 (Lukerganj) par bane residential structures ko 6 March 2021 ke notice ke baad giraya gaya.

Prabhavit logon ne court mein petition daalkar kaha ki “Bina proper process ke hamare ghar tod diye gaye.”

UP Sarkar ka tha claim ki zameen par gangster-leader Atiq Ahmad ka kabza tha (jise 2023 encounter mein mar diya gaya).

Supreme Court ki strict टिप्पणी

Justice Abhay S Oka aur Ujjal Bhuyan ki bench ne kaha:
“Yeh case hamari antar-atma ko jhakjhor deta hai! Kya aap samajhte hain ki right to shelter aur legal process jaise koi cheez nahi hoti?”

Court ke pramukh निर्देश:

1. Prabhavit families ko 6 weeks ke andar 10 lakh rupees compensation diya jaye.
2. UP Sarkar 2 weeks mein jawab daale ki kya notice jari karne ki process follow hui thi?
3. Officers ko warning: “Aisi jaldbaazi future mein na dikhayein!”

24 March ko bhi tha court ka gussa

Isse pehle 24 March ko bhi court ne UP Sarkar ki “high-handed” action par narazgi jatai thi. Attorney General R Venkataramani ne argue kiya tha ki “Illegal kabze control karna mushkil hai”, lekin court ne maana ki rules ka ullanghan hua.

High Court ne kyon kharij ki thi petition?

Allahabad High Court ne isse pehle prabhavito ki petition ko dismiss kar diya tha, jiske baad case Supreme Court pahuncha. Petitioners ke lawyer ne kaha:
“Sarkar ne galatfehmi mein ghar gira diye. Zameen Atiq Ahmad ki nahi, common citizens ki thi!”

Kya kehta hai law?

• Notice ka time: Kisi bhi demolition se pehle 15-30 din ka notice dena mandatory hai.
• Sunwai ka adhikar: Affected person ko apni baat rakhne ka mauka milna chahiye.
• Compensation: Illegal demolition ki situation mein victims ko compensation dena hoga.

Political reactions

• SP leader Akhilesh Yadav: “UP mein law nahi, goondaraj chal raha hai!”
• Congress spokesperson: “Supreme Court ne sarkar ke atyachar ko ujagar kiya hai.”
• BJP ka defense: “Illegal construction hatane ki action thi, galti ho gayi toh compensation diya jayega.”

Kya hoga aage?

• UP Sarkar ko ab 12 April tak court mein affidavit file karna hoga.
• Compensation distribution ki report submit karni hogi.
• Court ne clear kiya ki “Officers ki manmani bardasht nahi ki jayegi.”

Conclusion: Law hi sarvopari

Supreme Court ka yeh faisla ek clear message deta hai ki “Chaahe criminal ka property par kabza ho, lekin legal process ko ignore nahi kiya ja sakta.” Ab dekhna hai ki UP Sarkar kitni seriously is case ko leti hai.
