State Of M.P vs Maharani Ushadevi

The Supreme Court held that the respondent, as the sole heir of Maharaja Yashwanth Rao Holkar, is entitled to a declaration of title over the disputed properties under Article 300A of the Constitution of India, which protects the right to property. The Court found that the properties were never effectively transferred to the State and that the State's claim lacked legal basis. Consequently, the High Court's decree in favor of the respondent was upheld, affirming her ownership rights over the properties in question.
