Law On Acquiring Rights in Immovable Property : Supreme Court Answers the Legal Issue
It has been held that there are various modes by which rights may be acquired in an immovable property such as sale, gift, mortgage, lease etc., which are from one living person to another. Rights may also be acquired by devolution of interest through a will or inheritance/ succession on death of the title/ interest holder. There is nothing in the M.P. Land Revenue Code, 1959 proscribing acquisition of rights under a will. Where there is no serious dispute raised by any natural legal heir, if any, of the tenure holder, in absence of any legal bar, mutation based on a will should not be denied as it would defeat the interest of Revenue.
