A Rajasthan High Court bench rejected a petition filed by a grandson seeking a share in his late grandfather’s 75‑bigha property, contesting a sale carried out by his father.
The Rajasthan High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by a grandson who alleged a right to a portion of his late grandfather’s 75‑bigha agricultural land. The heir argued that the land, which had been in the family for generations, was sold by his father without his consent, thereby depriving him of his rightful share.
The bench, comprising Justice [Name] and Justice [Name], held that the petitioner had not produced sufficient documentary evidence to establish a legal interest in the property. The court noted that the sale was executed by the father, who was the registered owner, and that the grandson’s claim was based solely on oral assertions.
Consequently, the petition was dismissed as premature and without merit. The court directed the petitioner to approach the appropriate civil forum if he wishes to contest the sale on other grounds, and warned that any further frivolous litigation may attract costs.
Legal experts said the verdict underscores the importance of maintaining clear title documents in intra‑family land transactions, especially in states like Rajasthan where agricultural holdings often span large areas.
