On November 13, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgment, curbing the rampant practice of “bulldozer justice” used by authorities, to demolish the homes of those accused of crimes. Known widely as the "Yogi Model" or "Bulldozer Baba Model," this approach has seen widespread use in various BJP-ruled states.
In this video, Alishan Jafri is joined by Sarim Naved to discuss the significance of this verdict, its implications, and how it addresses the abuse through bulldozers.
Naved explains the legal and political impact of this ruling, as well as the procedural safeguards now mandated to protect citizens from arbitrary demolitions.
This judgment is expected to set a precedent for ensuring accountability among state authorities and could be the first step to stop instant retributive justice.
