SAVATRAM RAMPRATAP MILL vs RADHEYSHYAM S/O LAXMINARAYAN GOENKAR (D) THR. LRS. AND ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that proceedings under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, must be initiated at the location of the public premises, as specified under Section 3 of the Act. The Court ruled that the notices issued by the Estate Officer directing attendance in Mumbai were invalid since the cause of action arose in Akola. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order quashing the notices and allowing the writ petition.
