BABU LAL SHARMA vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court addressed the appellant's claim for title and possession of land under Khasra No. 1709, asserting that the revenue records incorrectly classified the land as government property. The Court emphasized the need for proper authority in land classification under the Madhya Pradesh State Revenue Code, particularly Section 248, and held that the appellant's title must be recognized as valid due to the prior ownership by his father, Mahadev Prasad Richharia. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, restoring his title to the disputed land.
