New Delhi : Hearing pleas against the demolition action, the Supreme Court on Monday asked how can anybody's house be demolished only because he is an accused.

The court said even if a person is a convict, his house can't be demolished without following procedure prescribed by law.

The court said it is not going to protect any unauthorised construction.

“We propose to lay down guidelines on pan-India basis,” the court said, posting the matter for September 17.
