Ram Balak Singh vs State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the plaintiff's claim to possession of 0.32 decimal of land, originally settled by ex-landlord Rambati Kuwer to Makhan Singh, and subsequently inherited by the plaintiff as his adopted son. The Court emphasized the finality of the Consolidation Officer's order under Section 10(B) of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1956, which recorded the plaintiff's name in the revenue records. The Court ruled that the State had no jurisdiction over the land, affirming the plaintiff's title and possession.
