Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appeal regarding the ejectment of Ram Karan and Mahendra Kumar from agricultural land under Section 42 and Section 175 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955. The Court established that the sale of land to upper caste individuals by a Scheduled Caste vendor was void under Section 42, but also recognized the vendee's rights through adverse possession after 32 years of cultivation. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, emphasizing the importance of social justice in tenancy laws.
