MUNESHWAR (DEAD BY LRS. vs RAJA MOHAMMAD KHAN & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which quashed the orders of the Consolidation Officer and other authorities under the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953. The Court found that the appellant's claim of sole heirship and exclusive possession of the land was not substantiated, especially in light of the final decree for partition in favor of Shivrati under Section 176 of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Court emphasized that the appellant's objections were rightly dismissed as the revenue records reflected the rightful ownership of the respondents.
