Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court, affirming the relocation order issued by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) under the authority of the NDMC Act. The Court emphasized that the NDMC's decision to relocate the appellant, a squatter, was justified due to security concerns, referencing the precedent set in Sodan Singh vs. New Delhi Municipal Corporation, (1989) 4 SCC 155. The Court found no merit in the appellant's challenge against the relocation order dated 03.12.2013, thereby dismissing the appeal.
