Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the award of the Lok Adalat under Section 19 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, which mandated the demolition of an unauthorized building used for commercial rubber sheet production. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the Kerala Panchayath Building Rules, 2011, and recognized the health hazards posed by such unauthorized constructions. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Lok Adalat's decision for public interest and safety.
