Can Rajkot authority demolish my shop without notice under Gujarat law?

Demolition of your shop in Rajkot without notice violates the Gujarat Rent Control Act 1999 and the principles of natural justice upheld by the Gujarat High Court. The Gujarat High Court has repeatedly held that prior notice and hearing are mandatory before demolition of commercial structures in Rajkot.

If Rajkot authorities demolish without procedure, you can seek compensation and reconstruction before the Gujarat High Court. The Gujarat Rent Control Act 1999 requires a show-cause notice specifying violations and granting a reply period.

The Gujarat High Court has condemned summary demolitions in Rajkot as unconstitutional. Emergency demolition is permissible only where the structure poses an imminent threat to life in Rajkot.

You can challenge the demolition order before the Gujarat High Court under Article 226.
