2. In this case, the application for the eviction and return of the premises has been ruled in favor of the Ministry of National Defense (MND). With responsibility as the competent agency for land management related to safe-keeping and maintenance, the MND will conduct follow-up procedures in adherence to the law and with respect to judicial decision issued by the court.
