A CJI DY Chandrachud-led Supreme Court bench on Wednesday ordered Uttar Pradesh government to pay ₹25 lakh to Maharajganj resident MT Aakash for demolishing his house in 2019 without any prior notice. The court noted that Aakash's family was informed of the demolition for a road widening project only through a loudspeaker. "This is completely high-handed...This is lawlessness," it said.
