In Brief
The appellant claimed to have purchased a municipal residential quarter at auction in 1990 but never received a formal sale deed. For 18 years he lived in the quarter until the Nagar Palika (municipality) sought to evict him. The Supreme Court held that the appellant had no legal title, allotment letter, or evidence of payment, making his possession unauthorized and trespasser-like since inception. The Court dismissed his appeal and ordered him to vacate within three months and pay damages of Rs. 3000 per month from June 1990 until he surrenders possession.
