Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning land granted by the Tamil Nadu Government for a Choultry, emphasizing the conditions of reversion to the Government if the land ceased to be used for its intended purpose. The Court held that the land in question, leased to the first respondent, was subject to these conditions, and the Government's right to resume the land without compensation was valid under the original grant terms. The appeals were allowed, affirming the Government's authority to reclaim the land due to non-compliance with the usage conditions.
