The Supreme Court on Sunday slammed the Uttar Pradesh government over demolition of houses in Prayagraj saying the action has shocked it conscience.
A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan also denounced the manner in which the houses were bulldozed within 24 hours of serving notices without the time to appeal.
"It shocks our conscience how the residential premises were demolished in a high-handed manner. The manner in which the whole process has been conducted is shocking. Courts cannot tolerate such a process. If we tolerate it in one case it will continue," the bench said, reported PTI.
