Subhadra Ankush Kshirsagar And Ors. vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors. ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to vacate the interim order maintaining status quo regarding the eviction of wives of retired police personnel from government quarters, governed by Section 31 of the Bombay Police Act. The Court found that the appellants failed to establish a prima facie case for interim relief, as the police quarters are allocated based on service conditions and the need for police personnel to reside close to their duties. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the order of status quo was vacated, with a request for the High Court to expedite the final hearing of the writ petition.
