G. Krishnareddy vs Sajjappa(D) By Lrs And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision regarding the application of the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978, which prohibits the transfer of certain lands. The Court ruled that the appellant's father purchased the land in violation of the prohibition clause, thus negating any claim of adverse possession. The Court affirmed the High Court's order to restore possession of the land to the original grantee's heirs, emphasizing the legal binding nature of the grant's conditions under Section 3 of the Prohibition of Transfer Act.
