Article 300A | State Cannot Seize Property Without Legal Authority; Sikkim HC Grants Injunction to Protect Lawful Possession

Sikkim High Court ruled that the state's attempt to acquire property without valid legal documentation violates Article 300A, granting an injunction to prevent irreparable harm to a family's sole residence. The judgment reinforces that lawful possession cannot be disturbed without due process, setting a precedent for property rights protection against arbitrary state action.
