BHRIGU NATH SAHAY SINH vs MD. KHALILUR RAHMAN .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Patna High Court, which reversed the Trial Court's decree for possession of land by the appellants. The Court found that under the Bihar Land Reforms Act, 1950, specifically Section 4, the land in question had vested in the State free from all encumbrances as of January 26, 1955. Consequently, the appellants could not claim title or recover possession of the property from the respondents, affirming the High Court's ruling.
