Case Summary: WA/17/2026 The Gauhati High Court dismissed Shri Nokman Konyak's intra-court appeal challenging the lower court's dismissal of his writ petitions concerning 157.81 acres of farmland at Tizit, Nagaland. The court held that the 1971 "Special Permit For Farm Land" granted to Konyak's father was merely a revocable cultivation licence under the Indian Easements Act, not a heritable property allotment. Since the licence was personal and non-transferable, it automatically lapsed upon his father's death in 1974, creating no inheritable rights for the appellant. The court rejected claims of adverse possession and found Konyak's acceptance of a separate 0.67-acre allotment in 2020 inconsistent with asserting ownership over the original permitted area. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
