    Summary The High Court at Calcutta set aside the lower courts' judgments and allowed the appellant's appeal. The court found that Smt. Tokidasi, who encroached government land in 1971 and continuously possessed it since 1972, qualifies as a pre-1978 encroacher eligible for land regularization under Clause 5 of the 1987 scheme, despite inheriting a share in her father's property. The court held that the encroachment register (Exhibit 9) proved her pre-1978 unauthorized possession and that having inherited property does not disqualify her from regularization benefits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
