Case History
Case Summary: C.A. No. 006226/1997 N. Nagoorgani v. District Forest Officer N. Nagoorgani sought exclusion of 5 acres 40 cents of land from reserved forest in Oppilan Village, claiming title through a 1972 sale agreement with heirs of Madathi Ammal. The Forest Settlement Officer rejected his claim; the District Judge allowed it for 4 acres 95 cents, but the High Court reversed this decision, finding the land was registered as forest poromboke in 1965 (before the sale agreement) and that the appellant failed to establish valid title. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on September 3, 2003, upholding the High Court's judgment and finding no substantial question of law warranting interference. The Special Leave Petition No. 16031/97 was also dismissed with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
