Section 83(2) Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act | Registered Patta & Final Khatiyan Are Conclusive Title Evidence, Bar Restoration After 45-Year Delay : Jharkhand HC
Jharkhand High Court rules that under Section 83(2) of the Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act, a registered patta and final record-of-rights serve as conclusive evidence of title, rendering restoration petitions unsustainable after a 45-year delay, even if fraud is alleged. The ruling reinforces statutory finality in land disputes, impacting long-pending property claims in Scheduled Areas.
