Thakur Prasad (Dead) Through L.Rs vs Raj Karan (Dead) By L.Rs. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the rights of mortgagors and mortgagees under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, specifically examining Sections 6 and 14(2) of the Act. The Court held that the rights of the mortgagors were extinguished as they did not hold the land under 'Khudkasht' at the time of the mortgage, thus the mortgagees could not claim ownership. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the status of the land and the rights of the parties involved.
