Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petition and review petition was erroneous as it failed to consider the mandatory requirements of Section 7(4) of the Land Grabbing Act, which necessitates notice to interested parties. The Court emphasized that the appellants, being in peaceful possession for over 50 years, were entitled to be heard before any orders affecting their rights were made. The Court set aside the High Court's orders and directed that the appellants be given an opportunity to present their case before the Special Tribunal.
