Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether a municipal corporation's demolition of a structure, conducted in violation of prescribed procedures, can lead to a court order for the reconstruction of the demolished structure. The court emphasized the necessity for municipal corporations to exercise demolition powers fairly and transparently, adhering to legal procedures. Ultimately, the court ruled that while the municipal corporation has the authority to demolish, it must do so in accordance with the law, balancing individual rights with public interest.
