Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, affirming that Gulkhan, who had been in possession of the suit land for four years prior to the filing of the suit, acquired the status of a Pacca tenant under Section 38 of the Madhya Pradesh Zamindari Abolition Act, 1951. The Court clarified that the rights of tenants are protected under the Act, and the admission of tenancy by Naharkhan, the predecessor, was sufficient to establish Gulkhan's tenancy rights. The appeal by Allarakh was dismissed, confirming Gulkhan's entitlement to be recorded as a Pacca tenant in the revenue records.
