Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) regarding the eviction of unauthorized occupants under Section 66(1) of the Maharashtra Housing and Development Act, 1966. The Court found that the appellant, Haresh Dayaram Thakur, had validly acquired the rights to the flat through a transfer agreement dated 21.11.1989, and that the claims of the respondent, Pitambar Dayaram Thakur, were not substantiated. The Court confirmed the regularization of the flat in favor of the appellant and dismissed the writ petition filed by the respondents challenging the eviction order.
