S.Basha v. The Thasildhar
Case brief
What is this about?
In this writ petition challenging an order sealing a bore-well due to alleged non-compliance with permissions, the Supreme Court held that the seizure was illegal because no prior notice was issued to the petitioner before the punitive step.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order directing seizure of the bore-well is set aside; the 1st respondent may pass appropriate orders after issuing notice.
