Supreme Court Sets Aside HC Order To Remove Unauthorised Constructions In Gurugram; Remands For Fresh Decision After Hearing Owners

The Supreme Court set aside a blanket High Court order for demolition of unauthorised constructions in Gurugram’s DLF City area, ruling that affected owners were not heard, violating principles of natural justice. While affirming that illegal structures cannot be protected, the Court remanded the matter for fresh adjudication after giving parties an opportunity to be heard. The judgment emphasises due process and fair hearing even in cases involving urban development and public interest.
