DEEPA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's rights as a tenant under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 were not extinguished despite the respondent's subsequent application under Section 82 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956. The Court emphasized that the earlier proceedings established the appellant's status as a khatedar tenant, which is heritable and transferable under Section 9 of the Jagirs Act. The Court overturned the Board of Revenue's decision that denied the appellant's rights, affirming the appellant's claim to the land in question.
