Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the disputes regarding the succession to Jagir property under the Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952, specifically Sections 22 and 23. The Court held that the grant of Jagir property was a personal grant to Ram Ballabh and not to a religious institution, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court dismissed the appeals of the tenants challenging the eviction orders, thereby upholding the legitimacy of the first respondent's claim to the Jagir property.
