Case History
Summary of Salkia Businessmen's Association v. Howrah Municipal Corporation (2001) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, holding that the Howrah Municipal Corporation was bound by the 1991 High Court settlement order and must provide alternate accommodation on GT Road between specified locations as stipulated. The Court rejected the lower courts' characterization of the compromise as a mere contract and emphasized that court orders incorporating settlement terms are binding on public authorities and must be enforced in letter and spirit, not circumvented.
