Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of property requisitioned under the West Bengal Premises Requisition and Control (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1947. The court interpreted section 10B, which mandates the release of requisitioned property after 25 years, and examined the implications of the amendment made in 1987. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, Punalur Paper Mills Ltd., ordering the release of the requisitioned premises.
