Orders of ejectment and damages must adhere to natural justice principles, ensuring proper consideration of objections and conducting necessary surveys before enforcement.
Judicial procedures must ensure proper hearing before ejectment under the U.P. Revenue Code, emphasizing transparency and adherence to statutory guidelines.
Eviction proceedings under U.P. Revenue Code cannot proceed without proper land demarcation, and damages awarded must be based on a justified assessment.
Ejectment orders must follow proper procedure, including adequate hearing and survey, and appeals should be decided on merits rather than technical grounds.
The court emphasized that delays in filing appeals should be condoned to ensure substantial justice, overriding technical limitations.
Authorities must adhere to statutory provisions and consider beneficial legislation in eviction proceedings under the U.P. Revenue Code.
Eviction upheld for illegal possession of public land, but damages quashed due to lack of justification and procedural errors by the appellate authority.
The court ruled that revenue authorities must diligently evaluate evidence and properly calculate damages in eviction proceedings under the U.P. Revenue Code.
