#bhumiswami rights

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has struck down arbitrary 'non-transferable' annotations in revenue records when made without any statutory authority or formal order, affirming that bhumiswami owners retain full transfer rights unless lawfully restricted. This ruling protects thousands of small landholders from bureaucratic overreach and reinforces that revenue records must reflect legal status, not administrative convenience.

MP High Court rules that land granted as bhumiswami rights under Section 162 of the MP Land Revenue Code cannot be subsequently marked non-transferable under Section 165(7-b) without explicit statutory authority. The judgment protects landowners from arbitrary revenue record alterations and reinforces the sanctity of original grant conditions.
