The SC came down heavily on the legislation of punishing the whole community for riots and disturbances in the area. Now comes the newest strategy of swift demolition of so called rioters based on police reports with out following due process of law. Any lillegal construction must follow notice , time for response and court intervention. The state cannot and should not usurp powers for itself in a summary justice WHATEVER be the magnitude , nature of the most despicable crime is the whole family made to bear the brunt of medieval justice? Does the house not belong to other members of the family? How long the illegal structure had been standing and what the authorities had been doing? Was any notice as per rules in force issued to the owner ?How the occupancy certificate, water and electricity connections issued to perpetuate illegality ? .Is this the only illegal structure in the vicinity or is it selective targeting of religious minority spreading hatred and persecution per se Here in Goa under BJP rule a structure belonging to a high profile supporter and in a heritage site is still to be raised down with lega directions to do so and prolonged massive protests It smacks of do so double standards in two BJP ruled state which are an eyesore . The Executive , Legislature encroaching in the domain of judiciary is a dangerous precedent .Ache din , sab ke Saat Saab ka vikas Saab ka visvas?
