Mon Mar 24 06:57:19 UTC 2025: ## Supreme Court to Hear Contempt Plea Over House Demolition in Maharashtra
**New Delhi, March 24, 2025** – The Supreme Court of India will hear a contempt plea in four weeks concerning the demolition of a house and shop in Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district. The demolition allegedly followed a frivolous complaint about an anti-India slogan shouted during an India-Pakistan cricket match.
The petitioner alleges the demolition violates a November 13, 2024 Supreme Court ruling that prohibits property demolitions without prior notice and a 15-day response period. The court has issued a notice to the Maharashtra authorities seeking their response to the allegations. The family of the accused teenager, who reportedly had no interest in cricket, maintains the accusations are false. The case highlights ongoing concerns about the use of demolitions following allegations of anti-national activities.
