State Of Punjab vs Suraj Parkash Kapur, Etc on 4 May, 1961

14. Though it is sought to be submitted by learned advocates for the petitioners that the competent authority could not have declared the land in question as the excess vacant land, as the same was granted exemption under Section 20 of the said Act, to the original owner Khumabhai, the Court does not find any substance in the said submission also. Apart from the fact that the original landholder Khumabhai or his heirs had never bothered to challenge the order passed by the competent authority declaring the said land as excess vacant land, the order granting exemption under Section 20 passed by the respondent No.1 was never produced by them before the respondent No.2. The Court had perused the original file of the proceedings conducted by the respondent No.2, produced by the AGP for perusal of the Court, and had found that the original owner Khumabhai had received the notices issued by the respondent No.2 by registered post while processing his form filed under Section 6 of the said Act. It is also pertinent to note that by way of said notices, the respondent No.2 had called upon the said Khumabhai to produce the necessary documents as mentioned therein, and more particularly, the order, Page 15 of 17 HC-NIC Page 15 of 17 Created On Sat Aug 06 05:14:25 IST 2016 C/SCA/9559/1995 CAV JUDGMENT if any passed under Section 20 or 21 of the said Act, however, neither the said Khumabhai nor his legal heirs had filed any reply to the said notices, nor had produced any such documents. Merely because the copy of the order dated 19.04.1979 passed by the State Government was shown to have been forwarded to the respondent - competent authority, it cannot be presumed that the respondent No.2 had received it, nor be expected that the respondent - competent authority was aware about the said order. A faint attempt was sought to be made by the learned counsels for the petitioners to submit that there was a reference of the order passed under Section 20 in the preamble of the impugned order, passed by the competent authority, however, on perusal the original order from the file, the Court had found that the impugned order was passed on the cyclostyled form, and from the list of documents mentioned at the top of the impugned order, the serial No.2, with regard to the order under Section 20 was scored out, meaning thereby, no such order was there on record or perused by the respondent No.2. There cannot be any disagreement with the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases relied upon by the petitioners, however, they have no application to the facts of the present case. The Court has found that the impugned order having remained unchallenged by the legal heirs of the original landholder, and also by the original petitioner Baldevbhai for about eight years, the proceedings under the ULC Act had stood concluded in the meantime, and that the land in question had vested Page 16 of 17 HC-NIC Page 16 of 17 Created On Sat Aug 06 05:14:25 IST 2016 C/SCA/9559/1995 CAV JUDGMENT in the Government, which was further disposed of by allotting the same to the poor and needy persons by the State Government under Section 23 of the said Act. If at this juncture, any order is passed by this Court disturbing the impugned order, that would certainly adversely affect the said persons, who are not party to this petition. Though it is sought to be submitted by the learned advocates for the petitioners that the possession of the land had remained with the petitioners even after the proceedings under Section 10(5), the said submission has no substance.

State Of Assam & Ors vs Bhaskar Jyoti Sarma & Ors on 27 November, 2014

The Supreme Court in the latest decision in the case of State of Assam versus Bhaskar Jyoti Sarma, reported in (2015) 5 SCC 321 has inter alia held that if the owner did not challenge the action of the respondent authorities of taking over possession under Section 10(5) of the Act, forcible taking over possession would acquire legitimacy by sheer lapse of time. The question whether actual physical possession was taken over or not remains a seriously disputed question of fact, which is not amenable to a determination by the High Court in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution.
