https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=191584 A statutory prohibition on transfer by a raiyat in Sonthal Parganas was held to extend to an exchange of raiyati land where no right to transfer was recorded in the Record of Rights, so the exchange was void under Section 27. A plea of adverse possession did not defeat the reversioners' suit because the claim was brought within twelve years of the widow's death, and possession during the widow's lifetime did not extinguish the reversionary right. The suit was also not barred by Section 11, as the validity of the exchange had not previously been decided by a settlement officer. The High Court decree was set aside and the decree for the reversioners restored. en-us Mon, 15 Jul 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 17:44:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=191584 A statutory prohibition on transfer by a raiyat in Sonthal Parganas was held to extend to an exchange of raiyati land where no right to transfer was recorded in the Record of Rights, so the exchange was void under Section 27.
