The matter is of Naseerpur Kala village of Haridwar. Here Sharafat Ali’s ancestors had purchased about 15 and a half bighas of land in the year 1957. But shortly after the purchase, the land got stuck in a dispute over consolidation and revenue records. Gradually the matter became so complicated that many people started claiming this land and the family had to approach the court.
Four generations fought the same battle
This dispute went on for so long that the two generations who started the case passed away. After this, the third and fourth generations took this legal battle forward. The family appealed for justice at many places from the lower court to the High Court, but without success. Ultimately the matter reached the Supreme Court. After a long hearing of almost seven decades, the Supreme Court bench ruled in favor of the family and gave them back the rights to their land.

According to the family, during the consolidation process, they discovered that their names were not mentioned in the government records of the land and the land was still shown in the name of the seller. Several attempts were made to reach a compromise, but the dispute could not be resolved.
The village is also happy with the decision
There is an atmosphere of happiness in the family due to this decision coming after almost 70 years. The people of the village say that due to land dispute many development works were getting affected. Even the path of children going to school was blocked due to this dispute and they had to go through other routes. This case is not just a land dispute, but has become an example of four generations of struggle and patience for justice.
