Those rights pass only if the instrument contains clear express words or a necessary implication showing that the grantor intended to transfer them. Because the grant documents here were limited to surface use and even reserved fruit-bearing trees, the claimant failed to prove that mineral rights had been conveyed through the original grant or the subsequent pattas. The claim to compensation for minerals therefore failed, and the High Court's decree on mineral and quarry rights was set aside in favour of the District Judge's order. en-us Wed, 31 Mar 1971 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 12:35:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=190393 A grant of land for cultivation or grazing does not, by itself, carry sub-soil, quarry or mineral rights.
