Bulldozer justice and the erosion of Due Process: A constitutional Critique
Authors
Dr. Amit Kumar
Abstract
This paper explores the concept of “bulldozer
justice” where authorities demolish a person’s property solely based on
criminal accusations, without following proper legal procedures. In a
democratic country like India, justice must be rooted in law and fairness.
Punishment for any offense should be delivered through lawful means, respecting
the individual’s rights and ensuring due process. India follows the reformative
approach to justice, which focuses on changing a person’s behavior rather than
retaliating with harsh measures. Demolishing someone's home as a form of
punishment not only violates constitutional protections but also undermines
basic human rights and international legal standards. Such actions reflect a
misuse of power and threaten the principles of justice, equality, and rule of
law that form the foundation of a democratic society.
