Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns an application for the restoration of alienated land under the West Bengal Restoration of Alienated Land Act, 1973. The Act provides a mechanism for small landholders, holding not more than two hectares, to reclaim agricultural land conveyed during periods of financial distress. The court examines the eligibility of the transferors based on the statutory definitions of land and the conditions under which the conveyance took place.
