Dharam Pal & Ors vs State Of Haryana & Anr on 18 July, 2013
In view of the settled law laid
down by a Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in Dharam Pal vs. State
of Haryana 2002(2) RCR (Civil) 37; Surja Ram vs. State of Haryana
2002(4) RCR (Civil) 18 and Bharat Bhushan vs. State of Haryana and
others 1980 PLJ 563, the landowner has no locus standi to challenge the
allotment vis-a-vis tenant, in essence, once the proceedings of declaration of
the land being surplus had attained finality, it cannot be re-opened or
revaluated by taking the benefit of the Haryana Ceiling On Land Holdings
Act, 1972 (hereinafter referred to as "1972 Act"). However, the Collector,
vide order dated 30.04.2007 (Annexure P-3) remanded the matter back to
the allotment authority/SDO (Civil) for a fresh decision after inviting the
claims from eligible persons, in view of the provisions of 1976 Scheme,
afresh, by holding that the allotment can be done only under category "BB"
and not under category "A". The aforementioned order of District Collector
was assailed before the Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner but
the order of the Collector remanding the matter had been upheld, thus
present petition.
