RAJINDER SINGH vs STATE OF JAMMU & KASHMIR .

The Supreme Court held that under Paragraph 15-B(2) of Cabinet Order No. 578-C of 1954, the interest in allotted land devolves to family members upon the death of the allottee. The Court affirmed the proprietary rights conferred to Makhan Singh and ruled that his sons, Rajinder Singh and Daljit Singh, were correctly substituted as owners in the Revenue Record following his death. The appeal by the daughters was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that proprietary rights are inheritable as per the established policy for displaced persons.
