Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under the Madhya Pradesh Government Premises (Eviction) Act, 1952, specifically Sections 3 and 4, eviction can only occur from government premises. The Court found that the properties claimed by the erstwhile Ruler of Jhabua were not recognized as government properties, and thus, the eviction orders against N and R were quashed. The Court emphasized that the state failed to prove that the properties had been confiscated and belonged to the government, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
