Authors

Abstract
The article focuses on the abolishment and
transformation of the Zamindari system (Landlord system) into government
administration, with regards to the Court of Wards as an administrator of the
land acquired from the Landlord (Landlord) by the subsequent enactment of the
State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950. It highlights the settlement of
damages, the acknowledgement of the former Projas (also referred to as Tenants)
turned owners, and the execution of the act through gazetted announcements. In
specific instances, which will be explored in-depth in the article, the Court
of Wards has attempted to claim ownership over lands belonging to the Tenants,
which contradicts the law and has led to a number of court disputes / legal
disputes. The Supreme Court and High Court Division delivered judgements in
favour of the Tenants and have prohibited the interference by the Court of
Ward. In order to ensure that Projabili (also referred to as Tenanted) property
and property owners are protected, the article will be demonstrating the
necessity of respecting the laws’ objective and avoiding pointless litigation.
