REV. FR. K. C. ALEXANDER vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court held that under Section 9 of the Travancore Land Conservancy Act, 1916, a trespasser is not entitled to compensation for trees planted on another's land, as the term 'other product raised on the land' does not include trees. The Court emphasized that the appellant, having entered the land after his application for registration was rejected and knowing the title was disputed, could not be considered a bona fide trespasser. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that wrongful trespassers cannot claim rights to improvements made on another's property.
