Supreme Court directs states to formulate policy on illegal constructions

The Supreme Court has directed states to develop a clear policy framework addressing illegal constructions. The directive comes in response to a petition highlighting the need for systematic governance in this area.

The petition noted that several states, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Delhi, have already introduced settlement and regularisation schemes for illegal structures. The Court's intervention aims to ensure uniformity and structured approach across states in handling such constructions.
