JAILA SINGH & ANR. vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN AND ORS.

The Supreme Court examined the Rajasthan Colonisation (Rajasthan Canal Project Pre-1955 Temporary Tenants Government Land Allotment) Conditions, 1971, and the Rajasthan Colonisation (Allotment of Government Land to Post-1955 Temporary Cultivation Lease Holders and other landless persons in the Rajasthan Canal Project Area) Rules, 1971, determining that the classification of tenants under Section 15 and 15-A of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955, is valid. The Court held that the rules do not violate Article 14 of the Constitution, affirming the differentiation between pre-1955 and post-1955 tenants as justified. The appeals were dismissed, upholding the validity of the rules in question.
