Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950, specifically sections 6(a)(i), 6(h), and 18, the proprietary rights of the appellant were extinguished and replaced by new Bhumidari rights. The Court ruled that these Bhumidari rights, being a new form of tenure, could not be sold in execution of the mortgage decree as they were not included in the original mortgage. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the Bhumidari rights could not be executed against the mortgage held by the respondent Bank.
