Sudama Singh vs Deepak Mohan Spolia

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interpretation of its judgment dated 11.02.2010 under the Contempt of Courts Act was beyond its intended scope. The Court reaffirmed the right to shelter under Article 21 of the Constitution, emphasizing that slum dwellers are entitled to relocation and basic civic amenities post-demolition of their jhuggies. The Court directed the Government of NCT of Delhi to ensure compliance with the relocation policy and provide alternative accommodation to affected residents.
