RAMA vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision dismissing the appellant's writ petition regarding the re-grant of land under Section 150-B of the M.P. Land Revenue Amendment Act, 1962. The Court found that the appellant, who served as a Deputy Kotwar, was not entitled to claim rights as a Kotwar since he was not appointed until 1964, after the hereditary rights were abolished in 1962. The Court affirmed that the only heir, Sharad, had the rightful claim to the position and the land, thus rejecting the appellant's claims.
