Uncle opposed claim to grandfather’s 12-acre land after father’s name was removed; Supreme Court gives relief to children

A widow and her children, who are legal heirs of late Mr Ramprasad, managed to win back their ownership rights over 12.4 acres of land. This came after her brother-in-law contested their claim, arguing that Ramprasad’s name had been removed from mutation records and that he had signed a relinquishment deed.

The Suprme Court ruled that just because Ramprasad's name was taken off the mutation records, it didn’t mean he lost his ownership rights. Plus, the relinquishment deed which his brother was relying on was unproved and had no independent witnesses.
