Summary: Om Prakash v. Financial Commissioner, Haryana (C.A. 5805-5810/2002) The Supreme Court allowed the appeals on October 29, 2009, setting aside the High Court's summary dismissal of writ petitions. The Court found the High Court erred by not examining whether a prior Supreme Court judgment (Jodha Ram case) barring eviction under Section 9(1)(i) of the Punjab Security of Land Tenures Act, 1953 also applied to eviction proceedings under Section 9(1)(ii) based on non-payment of rent. The writ petitions were restored to the High Court for merit-based hearing, with the Court requesting disposal within 6 months.
