SC Orders Full Account of Khetri Estate Properties
Imagine a court case about old buildings and land.
The court told the government to make a list of all the properties they took control of.
The people who used to own the properties said the government wasn't taking good care of them.
The government said they are fixing up the buildings.
The court is looking at the situation to decide who should control the properties.
Supreme Court directed the Rajasthan government to provide a complete account of Khetri estate properties.
The government must include khasra numbers and current status of the properties.
The Khetri Trust alleged the government failed to protect historic properties.
The state government denied the charges, citing renovation work and security measures.
The dispute involves the Rajasthan Escheats Regulation Act and a will from 1985.
