ANTONIO S.C.PEREIRA vs RICARDINA NORONHA (D) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court examined the provisions of the Goa Administration Evacuee Property Act, 1964, particularly Section 15, which outlines the process for the restoration of evacuee property. The Court held that an applicant claiming restoration must demonstrate entitlement to the property and that the restoration is just and proper. The ruling clarified that rejection of an application does not preclude the applicant from establishing title in a Civil Court, thus reinforcing the rights of heirs in property disputes.
