Abstract

This paper critically examines the resurgence of retributive justice in modern governance, specifically focusing on the phenomenon popularly termed as "bulldozer justice." It explores its implications for democratic institutions, rule of law, and social. The paper adopts a qualitative research methodology, combining doctrinal legal analysis with case studies from India where executive-led demolition drives have bypassed judicial procedures. Relevant legal frameworks, media reports, and academic literature are analyzed. As we know and let we are about to Findings The study finds that bulldozer justice represents a symbolic and populist form of retributive justice that seeks to deliver instant punishment without due process. While it garners public support, it undermines legal safeguards and disproportionately affects marginalized communities. The research is limited to publicly available data and case laws. It does not involve field interviews or ethnographicresearch.The findings underline the need for judicial reforms and checks on executive overreach to preserve constitutional governance. The paper highlights the erosion of democratic norms and the danger of normalizing extra-legal punitive measures. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of punitive populism in contemporary politics, coining bulldozer justice as a significant threat to legal rationality and civil liberties.
