S.D. BANDI vs DIVISIONAL TRAFFIC OFFICER, KSRTC .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of unauthorized occupation of government accommodation under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. The Court emphasized that the Act has not been effective in ensuring timely eviction, as the process involves multiple hearings and appeals, allowing affluent occupants to remain in possession. The Court upheld the High Court's order granting the appellant time to vacate the government quarter, reinforcing the need for efficient eviction processes to manage government housing effectively.
