A.P. NAYAR vs REHA.MIN.EMP.COOP HOUSE BLDG.SOC.LTD — C.A. No. 7105/1999

Case Summary: A.P. Nayar v. Reha. Min. Emp. Coop. House Bldg. Soc. Ltd The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the High Court's decision that the disputed land (Khasra No. 167) in Village Begampur, Delhi was lawfully acquired by the Government under the Resettlement of Displaced Persons (Land Acquisition) Act, 1948, and subsequently allotted to the Rehabilitation Ministry Employees Cooperative Housing Society on perpetual lease. The Court found that the appellants' predecessor, Gopal Dass, purchased the land in 1955 after acquisition proceedings were already complete (award passed in 1962), thereby acquiring only a right to compensation—not title or possession. The Court rejected appellants' belated challenge (filed in 1979) to a 1959 separation order and confirmed the Society's possession of the land.
