In Brief
The Supreme Court allowed appeals by property owners, Pradeep Singh Bisht and others, challenging a High Court order directing their eviction and removal of alleged encroachments. The Court held that the High Court's conclusions were not supported by documentary evidence on record and could not rest solely on an Advocate-Commissioner's report of unauthorized construction. The Court set aside the High Court's order and granted the Municipal Corporation liberty to proceed under the law if advised. The decision emphasizes that eviction orders require concrete documentary proof, not merely administrative reports."
