Orders
Summary: C.A. No. 2166/2009 - Vivek M. Hinduja & Ors. v. M. Ashwatha The Supreme Court allowed three consolidated appeals challenging the Karnataka High Court's decision to restore lands to respondents under the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978. The Court held that authorities failed to act within reasonable time—initiating proceedings nearly 20 years after the Act came into force in 1979. Following established precedent, the Court ruled that where no statutory timeframe exists, authorities must act within a reasonable period or forfeit relief. The High Court's judgment was set aside, and the appeals were allowed in favor of the appellants (purchasers).
