Case History
Case Summary: Ombalika Das v. Hulisa Shaw (2002) The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of two daughters (Ombalika Das and another) who sought to evict a tenant under the special procedure of Section 29B of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956. Section 29B provides expedited eviction relief to military personnel and certain relatives, but the Court held that retired military personnel's adult dependent relations are not entitled to use this special procedure after the member's retirement. The Court interpreted Section 29B strictly: the special procedure applies only to relations of members "while in service or within five years of retirement" in cases of member death, not to living retired members. The appellants were required to pursue eviction through ordinary civil court procedures instead. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
