PTCL Act Section 4 | Land Under GMF Scheme Not 'Granted Land' for Resumption: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that land allotted under the Grow More Food Scheme cannot be treated as 'granted land' under the Karnataka Public Trusts and Charitable Endowments (PTCL) Act, rendering resumption orders invalid. This decision protects thousands of small landholders from unlawful eviction and forces state agencies to correctly classify land tenure before invoking resumption powers.
