Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the resumption of land granted under 'old grant terms' is valid, affirming the decision in Chief Executive Officer vs. Surendra Kumar Vakil (1999) 3 SCC 555. The Court found that the appellants failed to provide evidence disputing the respondents' claim of ownership based on the old grant terms. Consequently, the Court upheld the lower court's decree, confirming the legality of the resumption order issued by the government.
