Indian Supreme Court criticizes house demolitions in Prayagraj, pushes for legal due process.

The Supreme Court of India criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for demolishing houses in Prayagraj without allowing residents time to appeal. The court allowed reconstruction at the owners' expense if they file appeals within the specified time. Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court halted demolitions of homes belonging to individuals accused in recent violence in Nagpur, questioning the lack of due process before the demolitions. Both incidents highlight the courts' push for proper legal procedures in property demolitions.
