Section 9 U.P. Zamindari Abolition Act | Pond Land in Revenue Records Cannot Be Privatized as Appurtenant Property: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that even if a private party claims ownership under Section 9 of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition Act, they cannot acquire rights over pond land officially recorded in revenue records. This reinforces the Public Trust Doctrine, ensuring such water bodies remain protected for community use and cannot be lawfully converted into private property through adverse possession or litigation.
