Antonio S.C. Pereira vs Ricardina Noronha (D) By Lrs

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Goa Administration Evacuee Property Act, 1964, particularly Section 15, regarding the restoration of evacuee properties. The Court held that the restoration process requires an inquiry to determine the rightful ownership and that any rejection of an application does not bar the applicant from pursuing their title in a Civil Court. The judgment clarified the legal framework for handling claims over evacuee properties and emphasized the need for due process in such matters.
