As per case facts, petitioners encroached on government land designated for an Open Air Jail since 1985, leading to multiple eviction proceedings and appeals over 30 years, culminating in a
...Supreme Court dismissal of an SLP but granting liberty to seek other remedies. Petitioners sought land assignment or exchange, which the Government rejected via G.O.No.84 of 2022, citing a policy decision to build a Prison. Petitioners challenged this G.O. and the subsequent eviction notice, claiming discrimination and offering alternate land. The question arose whether the Government's decision to evict from the encroached land, designated for a Prison, and reject assignment/exchange, complied with law and Supreme Court's liberty. Finally, the High Court affirmed the earlier majority judgment for eviction, stating assignment isn't an absolute right for encroachers. It deemed the petitions re-litigations, upholding the Government's policy decision to proceed with the Prison project, and ordered eviction within four weeks.
