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 ownership among co-tenants. The Court noted that the claims of Mohan Singh regarding his share in the property were based on historical records and previous orders, specifically referencing the need for proper documentation under relevant revenue laws. The Court held that the consolidation process must respect the established rights of tenure holders as recorded, thereby dismissing the appeal of Mohan Singh and others.
