Why is alleged involvement in crime not a solid basis for demolishing private property according to the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court does not consider alleged involvement in crime as a justified reason for destroying private property.
- Presumption of innocence: The Supreme Court upholds the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty,' meaning individuals are considered innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.
- Due process of law: Destruction of private property without a fair trial would violate the fundamental right to a fair trial and due process, which are guaranteed by the constitution.
- Rights protection: Property rights are considered fundamental rights, and any deprivation of property must be done through lawful procedures and in accordance with the law.
- Preventing vigilante justice: Allowing property demolition based on allegations could lead to vigilante justice, undermining the legal system and potentially harming innocent individuals.
