Ratanchand Hirachand – Appellant
Versus
Askar Nawaz Jung – Respondent
( 1 ) NAWAB Salar Jung III, a nobleman of erstwhile Hyderabad State died on 2-3-1949 leaving behind him a vast estate but no issue. Not unnaturally several persons came forward claiming to be heirs of the late Nawab Sajjid Yar Jang and Turab Yar Jung first cousins of the late Nawab were two such claims. But a notification published in the Jarida dated 9-5-1949 the Nizam made the Salar Jung Estate Administration Regulation, 1358 F, and appointed a Committee known as the Salar Jung Estate Committee to administer the estate of late Nawab Salar Jung. The regulation provided that no person including heirs, if any, of the late Salar Jung shall be entitled to the possession of the estate of the deceased so long as it was under the administration of the Committee. It was further provided that the Committee should function until the Government dissolved it by notification. This Committee was continued by the Nawab Salar Jung Bahadur (Administration of Assets) Ordinance 1949 made by the Governor General of India on 12-11-1949.

C. O. S. I. D INC. VS STEEL AUTHORITY OF INDIA - 1985 0 Supreme(Del) 265: This snippet indicates positive or supportive referencing, as it states "IT will also be useful to refer to a Division Bench judgment... in Ratanchand," suggesting the case (Ratanchand) is being cited as useful precedent.
JSISA TYRES PRIVATE LIMITED VS NIRMAL KANTA - 1995 0 Supreme(Del) 873: This appears to show reliance on the case, with "Reliance was placed on State of Gujarat Vs. Sayad Mohd. ... Jawala Singh AIR 1979 Delhi 49, Ratanchand Vs.," listing Ratanchand alongside other cases in a context of reliance. It also mentions "Askar Nawaz Jung and Others AIR 1976 AP 112," indicating cross-referencing.
KUSHAL K. RANA VS STATE OF U. P. - 2011 0 Supreme(All) 1961: Explicitly cites the case positively by stating "By citing a Division Bench judgement of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in Ratanchand Hirachand v.," and references "Askar Nawaz Jung and others, AIR 1976 AP 112," showing it is being invoked as relevant authority.
G. V. Mohanakrishnan VS Shri. Prasanna Vinayagar Temple Trust - 2018 0 Supreme(Mad) 4408: Directly cites the case as reported in "Askar Nawaz Jung reported in AIR 1976 ANDHRA PRADESH 112," alongside another case ("Nathu Ram reported in AIR 1962 SCC 89"), in a listing context that implies supportive referencing.
KRUSHNA KAHALI VS NARANA KAHALI - 1990 0 Supreme(Ori) 65: This snippet articulates a legal rule ("Adoption of a son during the lifetime of a male issue is prohibited under Hindu law and a custom cannot override this prohibition"), with no indication of treatment by subsequent cases; it stands as a standalone statement of law rather than a citation pattern.
P. Rathinam/Nabhusan Patnaik VS Union of India - Crimes (1994): This states a clear legal holding ("Section 309 of the Indian Penal Code violates Article 21 of the Constitution of India, and so, it is void"), but provides no context on how it has been treated in subsequent decisions—no keywords like followed, overruled, or reliance appear. Treatment is ambiguous due to lack of referencing indicators.
