The High Court ruled that any order restoring tribal land must be based on a full enquiry under Section 170-B, not merely on pre-1959 revenue records or the absence of a registered deed. This safeguards tribal claimants by ensuring proper verification of possession before title is reinstated.

The Allahabad High Court has ordered that pending revenue disputes under Section 30 of the U.P. Revenue Code, even if unregistered for over a year, must be decided within three months and that parties must maintain status quo on the disputed property. This prevents unauthorized alienation and protects claimants from procedural neglect by revenue authorities, reinforcing judicial oversight in land rights cases.
