No. The government without issuing notice cannot demolish the property of yours. The Government issue a notice and after paying the compensation through Cheque then only can demolish. If there is no notice you can approach an advocate and file a Writ Petition before the High Court after giving a representation to the Government and basing on the Government reply/ not giving any reply. Then you can get an appropriate justice in this regard.

You must immediately go to High court and get stay order. You must be given notice before demolition. If you are not satisfied with compensation you can also ask for raise in compensation. You can also approach local police station if a private contractor is demolishing.

Non-payment: In India, many property owners do not pay property taxes. As a result, they may be seized and destroyed by the government. Private disputes can lead to the demolition of homes, including land disputes and inheritance disputes.
