Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the review petition concerning a civil suit for damages against the State, asserting that the appellant had no further rights to the land after the lease expired on 30.06.1977. The Court found no evidence that the State prevented the appellant from accessing the land or collecting usufructs, thus negating the basis for the damages claim. Additionally, the Court ruled that the claim was distinct from earlier proceedings under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, and the appellant was not entitled to the benefit of Section 14 of the Limitation Act.
