Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the petitioners to vacate municipal quarters within three months, following the High Court's orders. The Court held that if the petitioners fail to vacate, the municipality may take possession with police assistance. Additionally, the municipality is required to construct new quarters for the allottees within one and a half years after taking possession. The Court emphasized the petitioners' right to seek recourse if the municipality fails to deliver possession of the new quarters.
