Section 32 M.P.F.C.H. Act | Fresh Inquiry Mandated When Co-Sharer Possession Discrepancies Undermine Official Records : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ordered a fresh determination of co-sharer land holdings under Section 32 of the Maharashtra Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947, directing authorities to base entitlement on actual possession rather than flawed records. This ruling reinforces that procedural errors in land records cannot override de facto ownership, protecting the rights of parties in long-standing possession despite outdated surveys.
