A.P. Nayar & Ors vs Reha. Min. Emp. Coop. House Bldg. Soc. ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Rehabilitation Ministry Employees Cooperative Group Housing Society Limited was the rightful lessee of the land in question, rejecting the appellants' claim based on a sale deed dated 07.05.1955. The Court clarified that the land had vested in the Government in 1949, and the appellants only had a right to compensation under the Resettlement of Displaced Persons (Land Acquisition) Act, 1948. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the society's possession and the lack of rights for the appellants over the property.
