Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order directing the eviction of the appellant from the property was improper, as the sixth respondent should have pursued a civil suit for dispossession rather than seeking a writ. The Court emphasized that the Agra Development Authority's delivery of possession to the sixth respondent in 1986 did not provide grounds for the High Court to order eviction without a proper legal basis. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, allowing the sixth respondent to pursue her legal remedies for possession.
