Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the administration of evacuee properties under the Jammu Kashmir State Evacuees (Administration of Property) Act, 2006 (1949 A.D), specifically Section 5 and Section 8. The Court held that the Custodian must conduct a thorough inquiry into claims made by evacuees or their heirs, ensuring that properties are not unjustly appropriated or altered without proper agreements. The appeal was remanded for further investigation into the status of the evacuee and the rightful claims to the property in question.
