*illeagal home . weird they always left the important part
These houses were there for several years without a problem, paying utilities and housing poor children and women, suddenly they are illegal because someone wants to use this opportunity for their own disgusting motives. While we're discussing G20, you know what's really ironic, it's that in a country where 80% of the population would die of hunger if not fed by public welfare. They are serving delegates of foreign countries in utensils made up of gold and silver.
still illeagal tho and they left that part out
Well, that changes everything. You know what, they should just shoot them!! They aren't human anyway.
/s
yes like illeagal immigrant /s
Oh, well as long as they were illegal homes this is okay then!
In the US this would be a slam dunk case for adverse possession.
it is not U.S sadly and that was illeagal house
Have the courts found them to be illegal? There is a procedure to be followed for demolishing illegal encroachments. Demolitions of 'illegal' houses have recently been stopped by if I remember correctly the Punjab High Court.
sadly thats not punjab and those house were illegal
First, the word is 'illegal'. Second, the houses are only illegal if a court has found them to be encroaching on public property. Third, even if they are illegal, the owners have to first be served notice to vacate. (It appears they were not.)
Also I mentioned the Punjab HC's verdict because in India the judgement of a High Court or the Supreme Court establishes a legal precedent that applies across the entire country.
thanks for pointing out my mistake in spelling
thanks fo assuming

if my spelling is wrong is correct it in your head
Thanks for the source. But I was saying they do not seem to have been served notice. I made that assumption based on this line:-
'Residents … alleged that the demolitions were carried out in complete violation of laws … that eviction notices were only served as bulldozers were rolling into their street.'

I haven't listened to the complete podcast, and I'm sure this is just one side of the story; the municipality will have their own version.
thanks
