The court stated that authorities could not move to demolish homes or properties merely because a person has been accused of a crime. It also laid down strict guidelines for this form of action by authorities. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Indian journalist Rashka Kumar about the significance of this ruling and the origins of the practice.
