The Supreme Court traveled back almost 160 years in history to study the colonial Portuguese Civil Code of 1867 to decide on the actual ownership of land that foreign power in 1923 and 1930 and 1930 in 1923 and 1930.
Three -axis judge headed by judge Surya Kant, in a judgment pronounced on Wednesday (September 24, 2025), made it emphasized that the land distributed Portuguese was so poor quality and cultivation of native food grains, including Nagli, Kodra and Varai, and Varai Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai, and Varai.
However, the low soil quality did not prevent the legal Wrangle from starting to start between the descendants of the original Alvary holders, including the Divyagnakumari Harisinh Parmar and the state, represented by a collector, Dadra and Nagar Havel.
The long -term judicial battle began when the state administration, through the collector, abolished the Portuguese grants in 1974. Procie Dadra and Nagar Havel were exempt from Portuguese domination in 1954 and subsequently integrated into the Indian Institute of 1961.
“What is perhaps the most significant at the moment is not just that this court is invited to decide on a dispute that comes more than half a century ago, it is more deeper irony that even after 78 years of independence remains the court. It adheres to who is adhered to.
When deciding on the Apex Court case, he decided that the collector’s order of April 30, 1974 was not “tuned by Mala Fides” and it cannot be interpreted that it was handed over with the intention to prevent the petitioner (offspring) from the statutory benefits under land reform regulations of 1971.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal as without merit.
