Supreme Court of India prohibits property demolition based on family member's crime involvement.

The Supreme Court of India ruled that alleged involvement in a crime cannot justify the demolition of a person's property, emphasizing that actions against one family member cannot affect the entire family. This decision arose from a case in Gujarat where municipal authorities threatened to bulldoze a family home linked to an FIR. The court ordered the status quo to be maintained and is considering nationwide guidelines to prevent arbitrary demolitions.
