Supreme Court of India declines contempt petition on property demolitions, requiring evidence from directly affected parties.

The Supreme Court of India declined to hear a contempt petition regarding property demolitions in Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, asserting it would only consider claims from directly affected parties. The petition, filed by the National Federation of Indian Women based on media reports, lacked substantial evidence. The court emphasized that its prior order prohibiting demolitions without permission does not apply to unauthorized structures in public spaces.
