The Supreme Court has dismissed the Special Leave Petition of Shiva Shankar Sharma regarding the alleged illegal registration of government land in Jharkhand, imposing an additional fine of Rs 25,000.
The Supreme Court of India has delivered a significant verdict in a long-pending case concerning the alleged illegal registration of government and non-forest land in Jharkhand. The apex court rejected the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by Shiva Shankar Sharma, thereby upholding the earlier judgment delivered by the Jharkhand High Court.
In its order, the Supreme Court not only dismissed the appeal but also imposed an additional fine of Rs 25,000 on the petitioner. This decision marks a final legal setback for Sharma in the dispute over the land titles.
The case centered on the validity of the registration of specific parcels of land, which were claimed to be government property. The High Court had previously ruled against the petitioner, and the Supreme Court's decision to maintain that ruling closes the legal chapter on this particular instance of land litigation in the state.
