What did the court decide?
Since Chandrashekariah, the Jodidhar, had made a voluntary statement before the Deputy Commissioner gifting the land to respondent No.7 - Government School, and two items of land were already registered in the School's name by the then Special Deputy Commissioner for Inams Abolition in case No.LFR-ILA-18/59-60 dated 13.05.1963, it cannot be said that the school has no right over the land; the Coordinate Bench of this Court rightly set aside the order of the Tahsildar rejecting the School's claim.
