In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court of India has directed that no demolitions should take place across the country without prior permission. The court's directive came as part of an ongoing case related to the demolition drives in Sonapur, Assam. Allegations have surfaced that the demolitions were in direct violation of the court's interim order from September 17, which had ordered a halt to any further demolitions without express permission.

The court has issued a notice to the concerned authorities, responding to a contempt petition that alleged wilful disregard for the previous order. The Supreme Court has emphasized maintaining the status quo until further decisions are made, sending a clear message to officials across the country to ensure compliance.
