2025年12月23日、インドの最高裁が、ラジャスタン州が2つの村に住民個人の名を付けたのを、「政府が自ら定めた決まりに反している」として取り消した。23 December 2025 — India's Supreme Court strikes down the naming of two villages in Rajasthan after individuals, as the government acting against its own policy.

In December 2025 India's Supreme Court struck down the naming of two new villages in Barmer district, Rajasthan, after individuals. The villages, 'Amargarh' and 'Sagatsar,' had been carved out of Sohda village and named after men called Amarram and Sagat Singh.

The state had a 2009 circular barring the naming of villages after individuals, religions, castes or sub-castes. The state government had created the two villages by a notification at the end of 2020, but residents objected that the names came from individuals.

A single High Court judge had quashed it, another bench had reversed that, and the Supreme Court restored the quashing, holding that 'the government cannot act contrary to its own policy.' Barmer district lies in western Rajasthan, in the desert along the border with Pakistan.
