Case of Mizo Chief Council Mizoram vs Union of India, SC Judgement Dated 13th March 2026. The apex court held that the privy purses and other privileges granted to the erstwhile rulers of the Princely States were the direct outcome of political and contractual arrangements. Such political arrangements cannot be claimed as a matter of a legally enforceable right. Thus, acquisition of land of chieftains without compensation is not violative of fundamental rights.
