Ghulam Nabi Dar & Ors vs State Of J & K & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of Section 6 of the Jammu and Kashmir State Evacuees' (Administration of Property) Act, 2006, and the applicability of Section 3 of the Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976, ruling that the petitioners, claiming to be tenants-at-will, were entitled to protection against dispossession without due process. The Court held that the actions of the Custodian in constructing on the disputed land violated the interim orders of the High Court, thus reinforcing the need for adherence to judicial directives. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's order restraining the Custodian from further construction on the land in question.
