Bhadrappa (D) By Lrs vs Tolacha Naik

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ appeal under Section 4 of the Karnataka High Court Act, affirming that the transfer of land was null and void under Section 4 of the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978. The Court clarified that any transfer of granted land without government permission is prohibited and such transfers are deemed invalid. The legal heirs of the original grantee were entitled to seek restitution of the land, reinforcing the protective measures for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes under the Act.
