Junaid Ahmed v. State of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court of India's judgment on the demolition of illegal properties (November 2024) addresses the critical issue of arbitrary state action, particularly the demolition of properties linked to suspected criminal activities without adherence to due process. The Court condemned such actions, emphasizing the need for compliance with constitutional guarantees of equality and personal liberty. It further provided guidelines to ensure transparency, accountability, and the protection of vulnerable communities. This case is a milestone in reinforcing judicial oversight over executive discretion and upholding fundamental rights.
