STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs AANJANEY ORGANIC HERBAL PVT.LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of land transfer from a Scheduled Caste member to a juristic person under Section 42(b) of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955. The Court held that such transfers are not void as the term 'person' in the statute does not encompass juristic persons, which do not possess a caste. The Court affirmed the High Court's interpretation, thereby allowing the transfer and upholding the lower court's decision, emphasizing the protective intent of the legislation for Scheduled Caste members.
