State Of Orrisa vs Premalata Mohapatra (Dead) Thr. Lrs.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the State of Orissa to demarcate and hand over possession of 5 acres of land to the heirs of a deceased army personnel. The court emphasized the importance of honoring commitments made by the government to veterans and their families, particularly in light of the 1963 resolution granting land to those who served in the armed forces. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the rights of the respondent under the applicable government resolutions.
