20. The argument based on the premise of voluntary
handing over of the possession within 30 days of the
said noticecumorder under Section 10(5) of the Act is,
therefore, a misnomer. If the possession is handed
over in compliance with the noticecumorder under
Section 10(5) of the Act to the State authorities or
person nominated by the State, the proceedings under
the ULC Act get concluded under Section 10(5) of the
Act. If that is not done by the land owner in pursuance
of noticecumorder under Section 10(5) of the Act,
whatever thereafter is done to take over the physical
possession of the excess land in question, that can

RAVHJIBHAI CHHOTABHAI PATEL v. COMPETENT OFFICER & DY COLLECTOR
In Re: ULC Act, 1976 : Litigation by P/A : FB Followed
only fall under Section 10(6) of the Act, which says
that if any person refuses or fails to comply the order
made under subsection (5), then the Competent
Authority may take possession of vacant land and may
use such force as may be necessary for that purpose.
Subsection (6) does not require any other notice or
order once again to be passed by the Competent
Authority. It only envisages act of taking over the
physical possession in the manner known to law
including Panchnama process and presence of the
owner of the land is not a condition precedent for such
taking over of the possession. The last part of sub
section (6) is only enabling and empowering provision
for the Competent Authority who may use the force for
taking over the physical possession, if there is any
obstruction or hindrance created by anybody including
the land owner in that process. Otherwise use of force
is not necessary. Subsection (6), therefore, is not of
an adjudicatory nature, but it only provides for a
physical process to take de facto possession with or
without the use of force. Then the proceedings under
ULC Act get concluded under Section 10(6) of the Act.
Both these subsections are not necessary to be
operated and invoked in each and every case. The
proceedings under ULC Act can get concluded either
under Section 10(5) or 10(6) of the Act as indicated
above.

discretion for the Competent Court or Tribunal to look into the
reasons assigned for delay in filing the appeal then fairly
exercising such discretion either to condone or not to condone
this such delay.
