The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a contempt petition against officials from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand concerning alleged illegal demolitions of properties. The court found that the petition lacked substantial evidence and was largely based on media reports. The case involved claims of unlawful demolitions by state authorities, which were said to violate the Supreme Court's directives. The ruling was made amidst ongoing discussions about the legality of demolitions in these states, particularly those affecting places of worship. Additionally, the court has instructed the Delhi High Court to expedite the bail hearing for Sharjeel Imam, who is accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the Delhi riots of February 2020.
