STATE OF PUNJAB vs BRIGADIER SUKHJIT SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the Jallowkhana complex is an integrated property, and the heir-apparent must retain ownership without the State being a partial owner. The Court ruled that the State's occupation was permissive and characterized as a license, despite no license fee being paid, as payment is not essential for a license's validity. The Court confirmed the lower courts' decisions, mandating the State to vacate the premises and recognizing the plaintiff's title under Article 13 of the Constitution and relevant provisions of the Transfer of Property Act and the Specific Relief Act.
