Speaking on the sidelines of the party’s “Parivartan Padyatra” at Karnal, Indian National Lok Dal’s (INLD) Abhay Chautala said, “Under which law were the houses of innocent people bulldozed by the government? If some miscreants forcibly enter the property of an innocent person, it does not mean that the owner of this property is declared as a criminal.”
Counsel for the State assured the Court that a committee headed by the Chief Secretary was inquiring into the incident and that appropriate action would be taken against the officers responsible.
The Gauhati High Court has stressed that bulldozing of a house is not provided under any criminal law, even if an agency is investigating a very serious matter.
