"The executive cannot become a judge and decide that a person accused is guilty and, therefore, punish him by demolishing his residential or commercial property. Such an act of the executive would be transgressing its limits." The court has further warned that if these directions are flouted, the officials responsible will be liable for contempt of court and prosecution.
