Pre-1995 Agreement to Sell + Actual Possession Bars Injunction Against Non-Agriculturist | HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act : HP HC
The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that a non-agriculturist in actual, continuous possession under a pre-1995 agreement to sell cannot be dispossessed by self-help, and the original owner cannot seek injunction merely on grounds of transferee status. This affirms equitable possession as a shield against eviction, even where statutory restrictions on land transfer exist.
