Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Calcutta High Court, confirming the repossession of two flats by the plaintiffs, executors of P.K. Chowdhury's will, under the principles of property law. The Court found that the developer's claim of non-possession was unfounded, as P.K. Chowdhury had made significant improvements to the flats and had settled all dues. The Court ruled that the appellants' forcible dispossession on 10.2.1979 was illegal, thus affirming the plaintiffs' right to reclaim possession.
