KALLU ETC. vs STATE OF U.P. AND ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the interpretation of 'irrigated land' under Section 4A of the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, clarifying that the classification does not require two crops to be grown on the entire land but rather that the land has the potential to yield two crops in one Fasli year. The Court emphasized that the determination of irrigation facilities should be based on the capability of the soil and not solely on actual crop production. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the legislative intent behind the Act.
