Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the declaration of Khatiawad Industries Ltd. as an evacuee property under the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950 was illegal due to the lack of notice under Section 7 and Rule 6. The Court found that the respondent, a Burmese citizen, failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish his claim of ownership of shares worth Rs. 94,000. Consequently, the High Court's decision to dismiss the appeal was upheld, affirming that the respondent was not an evacuee and the declaration was non-est.
