Shankara Co-Op. Housing Society Ltd vs M. Prabhakar & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the administration of property left by evacuees during partition under the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954 and the Evacuee Property Act, 1950. The Court held that the disputed lands, originally owned by Mandal Bucham and later claimed by Rahim Baksh Khan's heirs, were rightly declared as evacuee property due to their migration to Pakistan. The Court upheld the notification issued by the Deputy Custodian and Collector, affirming the legal process followed under Section 7 of the Evacuee Property Act.
