Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land granted by the Government of Tamil Nadu to Sir Ramaswamy Mudaliar for a Choultry, which included conditions for reversion to the Government if not used for the intended purpose. The Court held that the land in question, leased to the first respondent, was subject to these conditions and could be resumed without compensation if the terms were violated. The appeals were allowed, affirming the Government's right to reclaim the land under the specified conditions.
