Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court emphasized the need for amendments to the Prevention of Damage to Public Property (PDPP) Act, proposing a rebuttable presumption of guilt for individuals involved in direct actions that result in damage to public property. The Court held that leaders of organizations calling for such actions should also be held accountable for abetment. The recommendations aim to enhance accountability and facilitate the prosecution of both participants and instigators in cases of public property destruction.
