    Case Summary: PPA No. 3/2024 Court Decision: The Principal District & Sessions Judge dismissed Smt. Meenakshi Arora's appeal against the Estate Officer's eviction order dated 08.12.2023, upholding her status as an unauthorized occupant of Shop No.11, Basrurkar Market, Moti Bagh, New Delhi. Key Reasoning: The appellant never held a valid license deed for the shop. Although she occupied it after her mother-in-law's death (post-2010), her possession violated Clause 9 of the original license agreement, which prohibits licensees from permitting unauthorized third parties to use licensed premises. The license deed expired on 31.03.2012 without renewal in her name, rendering her occupation unauthorized from inception. The court found the Estate Officer correctly applied the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, and upheld the eviction despite the appellant's personal hardship claims. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
