Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower appellate court, which ruled that the appellants lost all interest in the suit lands upon the vesting of rights in the State under the M.B. Zamindari Abolition Act, specifically Section 38. The Court clarified that Kishan Lal, who claimed to be a tenant, became a pucca tenant of the State from the date of vesting, thus barring the appellants from claiming possession. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed as the appellants had no right to possess the lands post-vesting.
