Case Note & Summary
The dispute involved a civil appeal concerning the possession of certain premises. The appellants, Prem Chand and others, challenged an order regarding their eviction from the premises in question. The Supreme Court heard the arguments from both sides but found no grounds to interfere with the lower court's order. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed. However, the court granted the appellants until 31st January, 2010, to vacate the premises, contingent upon their filing a usual undertaking within four weeks. The court further directed that if the appellants failed to vacate within the stipulated time, the decree holder could file an execution petition for possession without needing to notify the appellants. The Executing Court was instructed to ensure that possession was delivered within fifteen days of such filing, and if necessary, armed forces would be provided by the Superintendent of Police to assist in the eviction process. The court also ordered that any other individuals found in possession of the premises should be dispossessed. The judgment was delivered on April 1, 2009.
