CHHOTE KHAN, DECEASED, REPRESENTED BY HIS SON, HARMAT, AN vs MAL KHAN AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court held that an entry regarding an agreement in a Wajib-ul-arz is valid only during the currency of the Settlement and does not survive after its expiry. The court referenced previous cases such as Hira and Others v. Muhamadi and Others and Lieut. Chaudhri Chattar Singh v. Mt. Shugni to support this conclusion. Consequently, the court dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal, affirming the High Court's decision that the defendants were entitled to partition the land in question.
