Supreme Court on Government Property and Land Volume 1

Supreme Court on Government Property and Land – Volume 1 is an authoritative legal compendium dedicated to Supreme Court jurisprudence governing government-owned land and public property in India. The book systematically analyzes landmark rulings on state ownership of land, public premises, allotment and cancellation of government land, eviction of unauthorized occupants, and protection of public assets. It comprehensively addresses constitutional principles under Article 300A, doctrines of eminent domain and public purpose, and the limits of adverse possession claims against the State. The volume also examines administrative law dimensions involving development authorities, municipal bodies, and statutory land-owning institutions, offering clarity on the scope of governmental powers and citizens’ rights. By organizing complex judgments into accessible legal principles, this book enables practitioners to interpret evolving judicial trends on encroachment, regularisation, land acquisition, and misuse of government property. Volume 1 lays a strong doctrinal foundation, making it indispensable for litigation, advisory work, academic research, and policy interpretation in land and public property law.
