Calcutta High Court has held that while an Aadhaar Card is not conclusive proof of residence or title, it constitutes prima facie evidence of occupation for the purpose of invoking the safeguards available under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971.

The Bench clarified that public authorities cannot bypass the eviction mechanism under the Act merely because they consider the occupants to be unauthorised or because the structures are allegedly dilapidated.

"The demolition drive sought to be carried out by the respondent-Authorities is held to be unlawful and ought to be halted," the Court held.
