The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday refused to pass a blanket ban order against the demolitions taking place across the country. The court stressed that a blanket ban would curtail the rights of municipal authorities. It was hearing a petition by the Islamic organization Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind (JUH) against demolition exercises. The organization had alleged that several governments specifically targeted members of the minority community.
