Writ Jurisdiction Under Article 226 | Delay and Financial Constraints Cannot Justify Inaction on Eviction from Educational Institution Land : Gauhati HC

Gauhati High Court rules that procedural delays and fund shortages do not absolve authorities of their duty to evict encroachers from land allotted to public colleges. The court mandated eviction within 90 days, reimbursement of deposited amounts with 18% interest from 2017, and imposed ₹1 lakh costs on the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, reinforcing strict accountability in public land administration.
