Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court improperly exercised its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, resulting in an abuse of process. The Court emphasized that under Section 59 of the Bihar State Housing Board Act, 1982, the Board has the authority to evict unauthorized occupants through the competent authority. The judgment of the High Court quashing the show-cause notice and eviction proceedings was set aside, affirming the Board's right to proceed with eviction as per the statutory provisions.
