SC asks states to consider framing policy on demolition, regularisation of illegal constructions
New Delhi, Aug 12: The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked all states and Union territories to consider a representation seeking framing of uniform policy for regularisation and demolition of long-standing unauthorised constructions across the country. The order was passed by the top court while declining to entertain a PIL filed by Centre for Law and Good Governance seeking directions to the Centre and all the states for framing such a policy to save unauthorised dwelling units of poor persons, saying that this issue largely falls within the policy domain of state governments and local authorities. A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said that circumstances and ground realities vary from state to state, making it neither feasible nor prudent for the court to prescribe a single policy framework for the entire country. It would be difficult and may not be prudent for this court to lay down a uniform policy framework to be applied across various states, the bench said. The court, however, said states and Union territories could consider the issues raised in the petition while formulating new policies or revisiting their existing frameworks. We are hopeful that due consideration shall be given to all such issues by the competent authorities, the bench said in its order. The petition pointed out that settlement and regularisation schemes have been introduced in states such as Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as in Delhi. It, however, alleged that in several instances, unauthorised colonies and structures were demolished suddenly, sometimes without adequate notice and without any rehabilitation or welfare mechanism for affected families. The PIL said that demolition is an extreme and irreversible measure and therefore cannot be undertaken without a policy that balances enforcement of planning and land-use laws with the constitutional rights to shelter, livelihood and dignity under Article 21. The counsel for the petitioner said that state governments follow inconsistent approaches towards unauthorised constructions. According to the plea, demolitions are at times carried out in a hurried, erratic and unsystematic manner. The counsel said that authorities sometimes assure residents that unauthorised structures would be regularised, while simultaneously collecting municipal and property taxes and permitting access to civic amenities such as electricity. After 40-50 years, residents may be told that their structures are illegal and face demolition without any assessment of whether alternative accommodation is available. The plea urged the bench to examine the issue from a human-rights perspective, particularly in cases involving families who have remained in possession of properties or colonies for decades. The CJI pointed out that the Supreme Court had already laid down comprehensive safeguards against illegal and unauthorised demolitions. The counsel said that the existing judicial directions were inconsistent. He referred to an earlier three-judge bench ruling recognising the right to shelter as part of the right to live with human dignity, while citing a July 14 judgement holding that the long-standing existence of a colony by itself does not create a legal right and that mere passage of time or administrative inaction does not cure an illegality. The bench said a court-appointed committee could not substitute the powers vested in state governments and municipalities to enforce the law. It also reiterated that the Supreme Court had already issued safeguards aimed at preventing sudden and arbitrary demolitions. This court's humanist jurisprudence, beginning with Olga Tellis, recognises that a person in settled possession cannot be dispossessed without due process. This court has also directed that even a rank unauthorized occupant must ordinarily be given at least 15 days' notice before demolition, the CJI said. Justice Bagchi said the issues raised in the plea would have to be assessed on a case-by-case basis and could not necessarily be resolved through a single policy framed by the court. Justice Bagchi said the prayers in the petition were framed too broadly and could result in the court entering the executive's policy domain. The bench also noted that unauthorised construction does not always involve economically vulnerable residents, with some structures being raised for commercial or profit-making purposes. There are also situations where large numbers of economically marginalised people occupy tracts of land and require alternative accommodation... This calls for a policy decision. We cannot prevent the state from adopting a particular policy, the bench said.

New Delhi, Aug 12: India is steadily strengthening its indigenous nuclear energy ecosystem with a focus on advanced reactor technologies, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), domestic manufacturing capabilities, private-sector participation and long-term utilisation of the countrys abundant thorium resources, Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions and Prime Ministers Office, Dr. Jitendra Singh, said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today. Dr. Jitendra Singh said Indias long-term nuclear energy strategy continues to be guided by the countrys three-stage nuclear power programme, aimed at sustainable utilisation of its vast thorium reserves for long-term energy security. The strategy has received further impetus through the Nuclear Energy Mission announced in the Union Budget 2025-26, with an objective of expanding nuclear energy capacity to 100 GWe by 2047. The Government has adopted a two-pronged approach to accelerate nuclear capacity addition. This includes deployment of large indigenous reactors such as 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) and advanced reactor designs at greenfield sites, alongside development and deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) at brownfield locations, including retiring fossil-fuel-based power plants, captive plants for energy-intensive industries and off-grid applications in remote areas. A key objective under the Nuclear Energy Mission is to develop and operationalise at least five indigenous SMRs by 2033. The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), a constituent unit of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), is undertaking the design and development of indigenous SMR technologies, including the 220 MWe Bharat Small Modular Reactor (BSMR-200) and 55 MWe SMR-55 for power generation. BARC is also developing a High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGCR) of up to 5 MWth capacity, which can be coupled with a suitable thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production. Dr. Jitendra Singh also highlighted the continuing work of the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) in advancing the second stage of Indias nuclear power programme. IGCAR is pursuing multidisciplinary scientific research and advanced engineering development for Sodium Cooled Fast Breeder Reactors and associated closed fuel-cycle facilities, technologies that remain a cornerstone of Indias long-term nuclear strategy. Emphasising the Governments efforts to create a broader domestic nuclear ecosystem, Dr. Jitendra Singh said the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Act, 2025 has been enacted to enable wider participation of both public and private entities in the nuclear sector. The Department of Atomic Energy is encouraging Indian industry through knowledge-sharing and handholding for new SMR technologies, while simultaneously developing domestic nuclear vendors and strengthening the private-sector R&D ecosystem. Critical components such as low-alloy steel forgings for reactor pressure vessels and reactivity control drive mechanisms have already been realised through domestic industry, while development of other critical equipment has also been initiated with domestic industry and start-ups. The reforms under the SHANTI Act envisage greater participation of private entities in nuclear manufacturing, engineering services, research and development and supply chains, while maintaining stringent standards of nuclear safety, security and safeguards. The Act also provides statutory status to the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, thereby reinforcing the framework for robust regulatory oversight. On thorium, Dr. Jitendra Singh said India is pursuing its Three-Stage Nuclear Power Programme, based on a closed fuel cycle, to optimise utilisation of its uranium resources and progressively harness its abundant thorium reserves. Thorium, being a fertile material, needs to be converted into fissile uranium-233 in a nuclear reactor before it can be used for energy generation. Under the first stage, natural uranium is used as fuel in PHWRs, followed by reprocessing of spent fuel to extract plutonium. In the second stage, Fast Breeder Reactors utilise plutonium to generate additional fissile material. The third stage envisages large-scale utilisation of thorium through uranium-233 bred from thorium, after adequate capacity of Fast Breeder Reactors has been established. India has already undertaken sustained R&D towards thorium utilisation. Thorium Oxide (Thoria) pellets have been used in the initial cores of operating PHWRs, while Thoria-based fuels have also been irradiated in BARC research reactors. The irradiated Thoria pins have been reprocessed to obtain uranium-233, which has subsequently been fabricated as fuel for the KAMINI reactor at IGCAR, Kalpakkam. Dr. Jitendra Singh said the Government is undertaking a range of measures to build a globally competitive, self-reliant and technologically advanced nuclear energy ecosystem. These include implementation of the Nuclear Energy Mission, development of indigenous SMRs, strengthening of domestic nuclear manufacturing and supply chains, continued capacity building in reactor design, manufacturing, construction and the nuclear fuel cycle, as well as expansion of indigenous nuclear medicine infrastructure through the Isotope Production Reactor (IPR) to augment domestic production of medical isotopes. The Governments approach, therefore, combines indigenous technology development, expansion of nuclear capacity, greater industry participation, advanced reactor research and sustained investment in the nuclear fuel cycle, with the larger objective of strengthening Indias energy security and technological self-reliance.
