Summary of Nirbhay Singh v. State of Haryana (C.A. No. 2311/2004) On September 14, 2010, the Supreme Court heard appeals challenging the High Court's judgment regarding whether land possession was taken over on January 5, 1963 under the Pepsu Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1955. The Court held that "possession" under Section 32-E means actual physical possession, not mere paper possession, and found the High Court had not properly examined all relevant material to determine if such possession was actually taken. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the case for fresh consideration and decision in accordance with law after reviewing all relevant material, requesting the High Court to expedite proceedings given the matter's age. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
