    Case Summary: WPC 2299/2026 - Nitai Das v. State of Chhattisgarh The High Court of Chhattisgarh granted interim protection to petitioner Nitai Das, a 72-year-old who has been in continuous possession of land since 1960 under a state rehabilitation policy and constructed a residence thereon. Although the land is recorded as government grass land in revenue records, the court prioritized Das's documented possession (confirmed by Patwari reports and panchnama) over the state's technical objection that mere possession doesn't confer ownership rights. The court directed the Commissioner to expeditiously decide Das's pending appeal on merits and restrained authorities from dispossessing him pending final decision, balancing property formalities against equitable protection of longstanding possession. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
