💨 Abstract

In August 2019, journalist Manoj Tibrewal Aakash's ancestral home was demolished by authorities in Uttar Pradesh without prior notice, despite the property only encroaching by 3.7 meters. The Supreme Court later found this action "without the authority of law" and ordered the state government to pay an interim compensation of Rs 25 lakh, stating that due process was not followed.
