SC Seeks Maha Civic Authority Reply on Demolition of House and Shop Over Alleged Anti-India Slogan

The Statesman Siliguri

|

March 25, 2025

The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to the Maharashtra civic authority on a petition seeking initiation of contempt proceedings for demolishing a house and shop in the Sindhudurg district over an alleged anti-India slogan raised during the India-Pakistan Champions Trophy match.

- PARMOD KUMAR

Seeking a reply from the Maharashtra authority, a bench of Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih posted the matter for hearing after four weeks.

The contempt petition alleged that the demolition of the house/shop was done in violation of the Supreme Court's November 13, 2024, judgment restraining demolition actions across the country without prior notice and affording an opportunity of hearing to the person affected by the demolition of his/her property.

V. Kitabullah Hamidulla Khan—the petitioner—seeking initiation of contempt proceedings, claimed that the demolition was carried out by the authorities after a frivolous complaint was filed about the alleged raising of an anti-India slogan by his 14-year-old son during a cricket match between India and Pakistan in Dubai on February 23, 2025.

Kitabullah Khan, a 40-year-old scrap dealer, said an FIR was registered against his family; his wife and minor son were taken to a police station in Malvan at midnight and locked up.
