The Govt. of Karnataka The Supreme Court dismissed Sharanaiah's appeal challenging the High Court's decision that his 1965 land purchase was void due to a perpetual alienation bar imposed at the time of the original 1938-39 grant to Chowdappa. The Court held that since the grant rules in 1938-39 imposed a perpetual restriction on transfer, the subsequent sale to Sharanaiah violated this legally binding condition, regardless that the express 10-year restriction had expired. The appellant was permitted to pursue separate legal remedies for compensation regarding any developments made on the land.
