The Muslim body in its plea has said that demolition drive of any nature must be carried out in the state strictly in accordance with applicable laws. A vacation bench of Justices AS Bopanna and Vikram Nath is likely to hear the matter. New Delhi: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear today the plea filed by Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind seeking directions to the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure that no demolitions of properties of alleged accused of recent violence are carried out in the state without due notice. The Muslim body in its plea has said that demolition drive of any nature must be carried out in the state strictly in accordance with applicable laws. "That demolition exercise of any nature must be carried out strictly in accordance with applicable laws, and only after due notice and opportunity of hearing to each of the affected persons as mandated by this Court," the plea said. "Issue directions to the State of Uttar Pradesh that no precipitative action be taken in Kanpur District against the residential or commercial property of any accused in any criminal proceedings as an extra-legal punitive measure," the plea said referring to the June 3 incident of violence in Kanpur. On June 3, violence broke out in Kanpur after Friday prayers as members of two communities clashed over controversial comments made by now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Prophet Muhammad. Following the June 3 clashes, similar incidents of violent protests were witnessed in several other districts of the state, including Prayagraj and Saharanpur. Soon after the violence, houses of accused involved in the violent protest were also razed by the civil administration using bulldozers. Earlier, some former judges and senior advocates wrote to Chief Justice of India NV Ramana and requested to take suo motu cognisance of the detention of protestors and demolition of their houses and police action on protestors by the Uttar Pradesh authorities. The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind in its plea alleged that the adoption of such extra-legal measures is clearly in violation of the principles of natural justice
