First, the word is 'illegal'. Second, the houses are only illegal if a court has found them to be encroaching on public property. Third, even if they are illegal, the owners have to first be served notice to vacate. (It appears they were not.)
Also I mentioned the Punjab HC's verdict because in India the judgement of a High Court or the Supreme Court establishes a legal precedent that applies across the entire country.
Don't feed the troll. These Upper Caste fucks only know how to bootlick the Hindutvadi regime.

Thanks for the source. But I was saying they do not seem to have been served notice. I made that assumption based on this line:-
'Residents … alleged that the demolitions were carried out in complete violation of laws … that eviction notices were only served as bulldozers were rolling into their street.'

I haven't listened to the complete podcast, and I'm sure this is just one side of the story; the municipality will have their own version.
thanks
