Calcutta High Court ruled on Tuesday that even though Aadhaar was not 'conclusive' proof of residence, it was still 'prima facie' proof of occupation of a property. This happened when the court ordered Calcutta Port Trust not to demolition alleged old buildings in the Garden Reach locality.
People living in 52 quarters, dwelling units and structures belonging to Calcutta Dock Labour Board quarters and Calcutta Port Trust first appealed before the division bench of Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya and Justice Supratim Bhattacharya against an earlier ruling by a single bench which allowed the port to demolish 33 structures on its property.
