IN A relief to a school for special kids in Colaba, Mumbai, the Bombay High Court last week directed the estate officer to consider an earlier eviction order as just a “prima facie opinion” and to decide afresh if the land on which the school is located belongs to the Army. The court passed the order after the central government said it has taken back an earlier eviction order and would decide the school’s contention afresh.
