Savatram Rampratap Mill vs Radheyshyam S/O Laxminarayan Goenkar ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court regarding the applicability of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, specifically Sections 4 and 7(3). The Court established that proceedings under the Act must be initiated at the location of the public premises, in this case, Akola, rather than Mumbai, where no part of the cause of action arose. Consequently, the notices issued by the Estate Officer were quashed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the appellant could only initiate proceedings at Akola.
