Land Reforms Act Vesting Imposes Non-Delegable State Duty to Maintain Religious Amenities: Jharkhand HC

Jharkhand High Court quashed the State's transfer of a pilgrim guesthouse on Parasnath Hill, holding that land vested under the Land Reforms Act creates an irrevocable obligation on the State to maintain religious amenities for public worship. The ruling reinforces that administrative convenience cannot override statutory vesting obligations, impacting all vested religious sites under state management.
