Union Of India (Uoi) vs Howrah Ganatantrik Nagarik Samity And ...

The Union of India challenged a Calcutta High Court order that directed the State and Railway administration to jointly fund and provide sanitary facilities to illegal squatters on railway land as an interim measure. The appellant contended that providing such amenities encourages the squatters to disobey eviction orders and that the court should instead have ordered police assistance for eviction. The core legal issue pertains to whether the court can grant basic amenities to illegal occupants pending their eviction from government property.
