Patta Allocation Confers Immediate Right to Physical Possession | No Stay Required to Override Cancellation Proceedings : Allahabad HC

This clarifies that administrative delays or third-party challenges cannot override statutory rights conferred by formal land allocation, empowering beneficiaries against bureaucratic inertia and encroachment.
