MOHINDER SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the Chief Settlement Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner erred in dismissing the appellant's claims regarding land cultivation and tenancy. The Court emphasized that while entries in revenue records are significant, they are not conclusive evidence of occupation or possession. The Court set aside the previous judgments and remanded the matter for reconsideration, instructing the authorities to take into account the Naib Tahsildar's order and the Civil Court decree, as per Rule 34-C of the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Rules, 1955.
