Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over House No. 3 in Hisar, Haryana, an evacuee property under the Displaced Persons (Compensation & Rehabilitation) Act, 1954. The Court held that the settlement between the parties, which divided the property according to their claims, was valid and should be upheld. The Court affirmed the orders of the Financial Commissioner that recognized the compromise and allocated the respective shares of the property to the appellant and respondent, thereby resolving the claims under Section 33 of the Act.
