HC upholds eviction order against Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s family

A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said it did not find any reason to interfere with the order of eviction which was passed in November 2001.

“Neither Maharaja Ranjit Singh nor the legal heirs are entitled to continue indefinitely in a Government accommodation,” the high court observed while dismissing an appeal filed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh against the eviction order.
