The Bench, hence, sought suggestions from all the parties in order to frame appropriate guidelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">According to reports, Justice Gavai remarked that <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">&#8220;How can a house be demolished just because he is accused? It can&#8217;t be demolished even if he is a convict.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The State of Uttar Pradesh opposed the petition and stated through an affidavit that immovable properties can be demolished only in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law. The Court also appreciated the State&#8217;s stand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The genesis of the petitions lies in distinct facts. In 2022, concerns were raised against trend of demolishing the homes of people accused persons. It was emphasized that right to a home was a facet of the right to life under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a>. Petitions were filed against 2022 demolition drive in Delhi&#8217;s Jahangirpuri. It was submitted that such demolition drives against properties of accused cannot be taken as an extra-punitive measure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The recent pleas originate from Udaipur and Madhya Pradesh. According to reports, after communal clashes in Udaipur for allegations against a Muslim schoolboy for allegedly stabbing a Hindu classmate, the house was demolished by the Udaipur district administration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In a similar instance from Madhya Pradesh, house and shop were illegally bulldozed by the State administration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Jamiat Ulama I Hind v.
