Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled on the validity of claims over public land under the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, specifically referencing Section 248 regarding eviction proceedings. The Court held that the appellants, who attempted to claim Bhumiswami rights over land recorded in the name of the jail department, were trespassers and upheld the eviction order passed by the Tahsildar. The Court emphasized that the appellants' attempts to assert rights without government consent were invalid, affirming the finality of the eviction order.
