Calcutta HC: Khajna Receipts Establish Better Title

Calcutta HC Moves to Protect Land Rights with Khajna Receipts

The Calcutta High Court has ruled that khajna receipts and municipal tax records provide adequate evidence to establish a better title during property disputes. This ruling came in the context of an eviction appeal where the title of the claimant was challenged.

The court's emphasis on these documents suggests a recognition of their importance in property rights, especially in disputes concerning occupant versus claimant. The judgment reaffirms the legal standing of municipal records and tax receipts as pivotal in determining rightful ownership.

This decision is crucial for practitioners dealing with property law, as it highlights the evidentiary value of khajna receipts and municipal tax records in substantiating claims of ownership and addressing eviction matters.
