Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Section 15 (as amended) of the Rajasthan Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1973, affirming that it is protected under Article 31(A)(1)(a) of the Constitution despite claims of violation of Article 14. The Court referenced its prior decision in Bansidhar v. State of Rajasthan, [1989] 2 SCC 557, which established the Act's purpose of agrarian reform. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the High Court's judgment was upheld.
