KUMAR SHREE DIGBIJAYSINHJI vs NANJISAVDAS & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 18 of the Saurashtra Land Reforms Act, 1951, the condition imposed on the appellant not to evict tenants was binding and intended for the benefit of the tenants. The Court ruled that the appellant, recognized as a Girasdar, could not maintain an application under Section 19 for land allotment for self-cultivation after evicting tenants, as he accepted the grant subject to these conditions. The High Court's dismissal of the appellant's petition was upheld, affirming the restrictions on the rights of the Girasdar.
