Headnote | Displaced Person (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954: ss. 19(2)(b), 20 – Power to vary or cancel leases or allotment of any property acquired – Appellant-encroacher on evacuee property served with eviction notice u/s. 19(2)(b) – Writ petition by the appellant, challenging the eviction order – Dismissed by the High Court holding that it is an evacuee property, thus, the appellant has no right over it and is not entitled to claim regularization of his possession – Upheld by the Division Bench – On appeal, held: Encroacher does not have any right of regularization of an evacuee land in the presence of a displaced person entitled to allotment in order to satisfy the objective of the Act – Evacuee land can be allotted only to a displaced person alone – Allotment to non-displaced person can be considered only after all the displaced persons have been settled – On facts, perusal of the Circular dated 20.06.1978 shows that an encroacher can be considered for regularization of his possession only if there is no displaced person in terms of clause III – In terms of clause III, the Chief Settlement Commissioner allotted the land to Respondent No. 4 since he had balance verified claim – Appellant was ordered to be evicted being an unauthorized occupant of evacuee land – Thus, the clause to allot evacuee land to encroacher in the government policy dated 20.6.1978 is beyond the scheme and purpose of the Act – However, if any allotment has been made to an encroacher and had attained finality, the same will not be re-opened – Possession of the land was taken over by the Government on 24.01.2014 – As such, the claim for restoration of possession by an encroacher, is wholly untenable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
