Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order directing the Collector to evict the appellant from the property, holding that the sixth respondent should pursue legal remedies such as filing a suit for dispossession rather than seeking eviction through administrative orders. The Court emphasized that the appellant's claim of possession was based on an arbitration award, which was still under execution, and thus the High Court's intervention was unwarranted. The Court ruled that the sixth respondent retains the right to take appropriate legal action to secure possession if dispossessed illegally.
