Ram Karan(D) Tr.Lrs.& Ors vs State Of Rajasthan & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rajasthan High Court, affirming that the sale of agricultural land by a Scheduled Caste vendor to upper caste vendees was void under Section 42 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the Act are aimed at protecting the interests of Scheduled Castes and that the vendee's long possession did not confer legal rights contrary to the statutory restrictions. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the application of tenancy laws in safeguarding land rights for marginalized communities.
