Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Ismailbhai I. Kansara, who was an encroacher on evacuee land in Gujarat. The court upheld the eviction order issued under the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954, affirming that the appellant had no legal claim over the property as it was classified as evacuee property. The court found that the appellant's long-term occupation did not confer any rights to regularization of possession.
