LALLU YESHWANT SINGH vs RAO JAGDISH SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 82(3) of the Qanoon Ryotwari, a khatedar's right is not automatically extinguished due to non-payment of land revenue, as the Collector may accept arrears under certain conditions. The Court emphasized that landlords cannot forcibly eject tenants without legal proceedings as per Section 137 of the Qanoon Ryotwari. It was determined that Section 326 of the Qanoon Mal allows tenants to seek restoration of possession if unlawfully dispossessed, aligning with the principles of the Specific Relief Act, 1877.
