Supreme Court hears a plea challenging the grant of defence land within cantonments to private individuals and alleging encroachment of thousands of acres of defence property across the country.

Bench: Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi Image
Adv. Prashant Bhushan: After several orders of the Court, last time the Attorney General said that they had appointed a committee. I have gone through the interim report, and it virtually says nothing.
Adv. Prashant Bhushan: They mentioned that they had a few meetings but did not proceed further because they couldn't obtain the records. First, they filed a status report in which they stated that the entire digitization of all defense lands had been completed. And today, this committee is apparently saying that they are still trying to search for records, etc. If digitization is complete, where is the need to search for records?
