MOHD. FAISUDDIN KHAN vs GOVT. OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling that under Section 12 of the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954, the right, title, and interest of an evacuee in their property is extinguished upon the issuance of a notification, vesting the property absolutely in the Central Government. The Court clarified that this vesting is unconditional and does not depend on the payment of compensation under Section 13, despite the absence of agreed compensation principles between India and Pakistan. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
