BALRAM & OTHERS vs THE IIIRD ADDITIONAL DISTRICT. JUDGE & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that Section 38(1) of the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, extends the entire procedure of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, to appeals under the Act. The Court ruled that the principles of abatement and delay are applicable, and the application for substitution of legal representatives must comply with the timelines set forth in Articles 120 and 121 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The appeal was dismissed as the application for substitution was filed beyond the permissible period, affirming the High Court's decision.
