On a litigation between the Barai community and the fishing community called Dhimars, in Madhya Pradesh in India, for the right of fishing in tanks, the appellants held that permission for catch and collection of fish or its removal would not arise, since such activities were within their own rights by reason of the grant. The defendants filed an injunction in the Supreme Court. The court upheld the the verdict of the High Court, in favour of the defendants, saying that if a right cannot be conferred no grant can be presumed to be in favour of an indefinite body of persons and members of a particular community, though of a village, in such a body of persons.The Court further directed that the fishing rights be auctioned and the rights to be conferred on the highest bidder.
