Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the patta granted to the appellant was invalid as it was not executed in compliance with Article 299 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the appellant was in possession of the property and had a valid claim based on possessory title. The judgment of the Rajasthan High Court was set aside, and the appellant was entitled to the decree for possession of the property.
