Allahabad HC Judge Criticizes Ram Temple Donation Theft and Bulldozer Demolitions
Justice Atul Sreedharan of the Allahabad High Court criticized the alleged embezzlement of donations at Ayodhya's Ram temple, calling it the "nadir of Indian integrity" and highlighting normalized corruption in society. He suggested introducing the death penalty for corruption offenses. The judge also addressed "bulldozer justice," condemning the Uttar Pradesh government's punitive demolitions of accused persons' homes as retributive and called for legal safeguards. A split verdict on imposing a two-year demolition bar has been referred to a third judge for resolution.
