“It is our responsibility to assist these families by presenting the facts accurately to the administration and government, ensuring justice is served,” he said.

Advocate Munazir Islam, APCR Joint Secretary, addressed the concerning rise of “bulldozer culture” in Rajasthan, following trends seen in UP and MP. He called on advocates to remain informed and find solutions to counter this trend, noting APCR’s intervention in bulldozer cases in Udaipur, Jahazpur, and Bhilwara. He referenced a Supreme Court ruling on an APCR (Rashid Khan) petition, which stated that no home, whether owned by a criminal or not, should be subject to demolition without due process.
