Orissa high court overturns eviction orders for long-term residents near Vimsar, upholds legal due process
The Orissa high court has quashed a 2014 eviction order against long-term residents near Vimsar, citing jurisdictional flaws. The court ruled that the tehsildar acted unlawfully without a formal request from the irrigation department, emphasizing that departmental authorization is crucial for eviction proceedings. This decision restores a previous order that nullified the eviction notices.
