Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Civil Revision Application concerning property rights over a bungalow in Pune Cantonment. The Court clarified that the property, initially granted under GGO 14 of 1827, remains state property despite subsequent agreements and sales. The ruling emphasized that the perpetual grant does not confer absolute ownership but rather a leasehold interest, affirming the lower courts' decisions under the relevant property laws.
