Saraswati Das & Ors vs State Of Orissa & Ors

The Supreme Court disposed of the Special Leave Petition directing the petitioners to vacate the municipal quarters within three months, with the municipality required to construct new quarters within 1.5 years thereafter. The Court held that failure to vacate would allow the municipality to take possession with police assistance. The petitioners retain the right to approach the Court if the municipality fails to deliver possession of the new quarters, and the municipality may fix reasonable rent for the interim period.
