47 Assam Residents File Contempt Petition In Supreme Court Alleging Illegal Demolition Of Their Homes In Violation Of SC Order

Forty-seven residents from Assam filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court, alleging the illegal demolition of their homes despite an earlier SC order prohibiting such actions. The petition claimed that the state government had violated the court’s directive, leading to the destruction of homes without due process. The residents sought accountability for the demolition and enforcement of the original SC order. This case underscores the ongoing issues of enforcement and compliance with judicial orders in state-led actions, particularly regarding housing rights and demolitions.
