Md. SHARFUDDIN vs R. P. SINGH AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court held that the Assistant Custodian, Headquarters, Patna, was not a 'person aggrieved' under Section 24(1)(a) of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, and thus could not file an appeal against the order of the Assistant Custodian, Giridih, which had declared certain properties as non-evacuee. The Court distinguished the case from Ebrahim Aboobakar v. Custodian-General of Evacuee Property, [1952] S.C.R. 696, emphasizing the specific rights of appeal under the Act. Consequently, the appeal was deemed incompetent and dismissed.
