THAKUR RUDRESHWARI PRASAD SINHA vs SRIMATI RANI PROBHABHATI AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court ruled that Taluk Kakwara, originally a Zemindari Ghatwali tenure, remains alienable with the Zemindar's consent, as established by customary law. The court clarified that not all Ghatwali tenures are inalienable, referencing the Privy Council's decision in Kali Pershad Singh v. Anund Roy, which allowed for transfers and sales of such tenures under certain conditions. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the execution of the decree against the appellant's property for arrears of rent.
