Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the status of the appellants as khatedar tenants under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955, specifically addressing Section 12 regarding the extinguishment of tenancy rights. The Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellants' claim for possession, as they were indeed khatedar kashtkars entitled to recover possession of the land. The judgment of the Rajasthan High Court was quashed, and the appellants' rights were upheld.
