The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that proceedings cannot be withdrawn under repealed provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Endowments Act merely to invoke amended provisions, unless no vested rights are affected. The Court also affirmed the authority of a Founder Family Member to issue eviction notices for exempted institutions, reinforcing statutory compliance in religious endowment disputes.

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.
