BACHHARAM DATTA PATIL AND ANOTHER vs VISHWANATH PUNDALIK PATIL ANDOTHERS.

The Supreme Court ruled that lands originally classified as Watan lands, upon resumption by the Government and subsequent full assessment, transformed into ryotwari lands. The Court held that the designation of these lands as 'Japti Sanadi Inam' indicates their status change, confirming that they no longer retain their Watan character. The decision referenced Ramijyabi Muktum Saheb v. Gudusaheb, (54 Bom. L.R. 405), establishing that the terms of any agreement at the time of commutation dictate the land's classification.
