Ramdeo (D) By Lrs. & Ors vs Board Of Revenue, U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Board of Revenue regarding the ownership of land under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, specifically Section 229-B. The Court established that the plaintiff, being the son of Ram Kumar, only had a 1/3rd share in the land, as Bal Govind, the original tenant, had no male heirs and the rights were inherited by his widow and daughter. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, concluding that the plaintiff's claim of exclusive ownership was unfounded.
