Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court's order directing the provision of sanitary facilities to illegal squatters on railway property was inappropriate given the existing eviction orders. The Court emphasized that the High Court's interim measures should not hinder the enforcement of eviction orders under the relevant laws. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's directions, reinforcing the need for compliance with eviction orders and the urgency of addressing the illegal occupation of railway land.
