Father got 3 bigha in 1972; HC protects married daughter's land claim after parents death
In 1972, the Himachal Pradesh government allotted three bigha and two biswas of agricultural land in Shimla to a person under the Nautor rules for cultivation. His wife died in 2012, leaving behind their only daughter, who subsequently approached the revenue authorities once again for issuance of the patta. Her request was reportedly rejected outright on the ground that married daughters were ineligible for land under the Nautor rules.
