Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Jammu and Kashmir State Evacuees' (Administration of Property) Act, 2006, particularly Section 6, which declared certain lands as evacuee property. The Court held that the petitioners, claiming to be tenants-at-will, had a right to challenge the constitutionality of the Act and the notifications issued under it. The Court granted interim relief to the petitioners, restraining the respondents from dispossessing them from the lands in question until the final decision on the writ petition.
