FAROOQI BEGUM (D) BY LRS. vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Farooqi Begum against the dismissal of her Second Appeal by the Allahabad High Court regarding a land dispute with the State of Uttar Pradesh. The court examined the historical context of the land's ownership, which was claimed to be a government grove granted as a rent-free lease by the Nawab of Rampur. Ultimately, the court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the state's ownership of the land and the legality of the resumption of the lease.
