The Supreme Court of India has quashed a Rajasthan government notification that allowed certain revenue villages to be named after private individuals, reinforcing the principle that government policy must be followed uniformly. A Bench comprising Justice Sanjay Kumar and Justice Alok Aradhe set aside an earlier order of the Rajasthan High Court, which had permitted the villages to retain their names.
The case arose during a 2025 exercise to redraw gram panchayat boundaries in Barmer district, when questions were raised about villages such as Amargarh and Sagatsar. The Court found that these villages were named after individuals who had donated land to the state. However, it ruled that the state government could not deviate from its own policy prohibiting the naming of villages after individuals, even if the issue was identified years after the villages were created.
This judgment has significant implications for administrative law, governance norms, and policy consistency, making it important for UPSC and State PCS preparation
