Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of unauthorized occupation of government accommodation under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971, emphasizing the need for effective eviction processes. The Court upheld the order of eviction against the appellant, who had failed to vacate the government quarter despite being transferred, thereby causing inconvenience to others awaiting accommodation. The Court directed the competent officer to evict the appellant immediately, reinforcing the principle that unauthorized occupation cannot be tolerated.
