Supreme Court affirms Class I heirs' first right to buy inherited farmland
The Supreme Court has upheld the preferential purchase rights of Class I heirs over inherited agricultural land.

Under this provision, a Class I heir must be given the first opportunity to buy another co-heir's share before it can be sold to an outside party. The verdict reinforces protections for immediate legal heirs in matters of ancestral farm property transfers.
