Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the rights of appellants who had been in possession of a property since 1976 and challenged municipal notices for eviction or compensation. The Court considered whether the appellants' long-standing possession and prior legal proceedings entitled them to alternative site allotment or compensation. The Court emphasized the importance of procedural fairness and the rights accrued through longstanding possession, ultimately ruling in favor of the appellants' claim for consideration of their rights.
