Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the order of the Deputy Director of Consolidation regarding the division of land among co-sharers. The Court noted that the Consolidation Officer had correctly determined Mohan Singh's share in the property as 564 Bighas, but reduced it due to the inclusion of additional co-tenants. The Court emphasized the importance of maintaining accurate revenue records and the need for proper documentation in land disputes, thereby reinforcing the principles of property rights under relevant consolidation laws.
