The Supreme Court asked the NDMC about the Jahangirpuri demolitions, “Do you require bulldozers to demolish the stalls and chairs?”

The Supreme Court questioned the North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Thursday if it needed a bulldozer to remove booths, seats, benches, and boxes as part of its anti-encroachment effort in Jahangirpuri, New Delhi.

The question was raised by a bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and BR Gavai after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the NDMC, stated that any stall, chair, bench, or other item placed in a public street in violation of the Act can be removed without notice under the provisions of the Act.
