    Summary The Gauhati High Court dismissed Shri L. Nokman Konyak's intra-court appeal challenging a single judge's order that rejected his claim to land based on a 1971 Special Permit issued to his deceased father. The court held that the permit was merely a personal license for cultivation purposes only, creating no heritable ownership rights that could pass to the appellant after his father's death in 1974. The court rejected the appellant's reliance on a 1996 Chief Secretary communication acknowledging the permit, finding it neither constituted a binding administrative determination nor conferred heritable rights, and noted the appellant had accepted a separate 0.67-acre allotment without protest, negating any superior claim to the original permitted land. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
