D.M.Nanjjapppa (Dead) By Lrs vs S.A.Ramappa And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's Division Bench decision which set aside the Single Judge's ruling regarding land grants under the Karnataka Land Grant Rules, 1969. The Court emphasized that the appellant, despite holding 4 acres of land, did not qualify as a 'sufficient holder' under Rule 2(15) and thus was eligible for additional land under Rule 4. The Court affirmed the need for the Tehsildar to consider the priorities outlined in Rules 5 and 6 when granting land, ensuring compliance with the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964.
