RANA SHEO AMBAR SINGH vs ALLAHABAD BANK LTD.

The Supreme Court held that trees, as part of a grove, are included in 'grove-land' under Section 6(a)(i) of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950, which vests such land in the State free from encumbrances. The Court rejected the distinction made by the executing court between trees and grove-land, affirming that uncut trees are inseparable from the land. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the execution against the trees was deemed improper.
