ABDUL RAHMAN vs PRASONY BAI

The case concerns the legality of escheat proceedings and the subsequent allotment of land to a third party after the presumed intestate death of a displaced person. The Supreme Court examined whether the Tehsildar acted irregularly by allotting land without proper notice to existing claimants and whether the Additional Collector was justified in cancelling such an allotment. The court upheld the cancellation of the allotment to the appellant, affirming that the land should be restored to the rightful claimant.
