Shriram Pal Saini vs Shri Anil Kumar

The Patna High Court ruled that former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar is entitled to compensation for land acquired by the state government in 1976. The court quashed a District Collector's order that had attempted to seize the land by cancelling the family's land records.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has stayed eviction proceedings against the occupants of Riyaz Manzil in Bhopal, which is currently subject to a dispute regarding enemy property status. The court has directed the petitioners to approach the Central government and provided a 60-day period for the competent authority to make a decision on the matter.

The Supreme Court ruled that the state government acts only as a custodian, not an owner, of temple properties under the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Act. The court set aside a gift transfer of temple land made by a temporary trustee to the state government, declaring it void ab initio, and directed the state to pay an enhanced monthly rent of ₹31,000 for its occupation of the temple premises.
