The Supreme Court’s recent verdict highlights an essential aspect of justice: the presumption of innocence. The Court stated that until an accused is proven guilty, they remain innocent under the law. Therefore, demolishing an accused person’s property during an ongoing investigation would, in essence, punish not only the individual but their entire family—who may be uninvolved in the alleged crime. This judgment reinforces the principle that punishment cannot precede a fair and complete legal process, emphasizing the need for proportionality and caution in administrative actions.
