Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd. vs Raj Kumar Rajinder Singh(D)Thru Lrs

The Supreme Court ruled that under the Himachal Pradesh Abolition of Big Landed Estates and Land Reforms Act, 1953, the late Jagirdar or his legal representatives cannot claim compensation for land acquisition after the abolition of Jagirs, as the land vested in the State and compensation had already been received under both the Abolition Act and the H.P. Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1972. The Court emphasized that the land not under personal cultivation does not entitle the Jagirdar to further compensation. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision regarding compensation.
