    Case Summary: CWP/14370/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the writ petition filed by Ram Gopal and another against the Financial Commissioner and others, upholding eviction orders against the petitioners for non-payment of agricultural rent. The court rejected all four contentions: (1) that petitioners held co-ownership rights exempting them from eviction; (2) that they were denied opportunity to present defence evidence; (3) that they regularly paid rent without receipts; and (4) that a prior dismissed partition application protected them. The court found petitioners failed to produce evidence of rent payment or deposit rent before authorities despite multiple adjournments, and under Punjab Security of Land Tenures Act, even a single crop's default constitutes valid eviction grounds. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
