Special Permit for Cultivation is Personal License, Not Heritable Property | Gauhati HC Rules No Succession Rights Under Administrative Law : Gauhati HC (Kohima Bench)
Gauhati HC holds that a Special Permit for cultivation is a revocable personal license, not a heritable or transferable property right. The permit lapses upon the grantee's death, and legal heirs cannot claim succession unless explicitly provided in the permit terms. This ruling reinforces the distinction between administrative licenses and property rights under land law.
