#Void Transfer

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that any transfer of land after a Section 10(1) notification under the Urban Land Ceiling Act is void from the outset, stripping subsequent transferees of any legal standing to contest the acquisition. This clarifies that buyers cannot rely on post-notification deeds to assert rights against the state’s acquisition, reinforcing statutory supremacy over private transactions in ceiling land cases.

The Karnataka High Court ruled that a transfer violating the PTCL Act's statutory bar on SC/ST land alienation renders all subsequent transfers void from inception, regardless of registration or good faith. This decision underscores that statutory protections override even bona fide purchasers' rights, extinguishing derivative titles entirely.
