Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the appellants' claim over public land measuring 59.17 acres was invalid as they attempted to acquire it through suppression of facts and without government consent, violating the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, specifically Section 248. The Court upheld the eviction order passed by the Tahsildar, confirming that the appellants were trespassers and that the land was recorded in the name of the jail department since 1935. The Court emphasized that the appellants' applications for Bhumiswami rights were rejected, reinforcing the finality of the eviction order.
