STATE OF U.P. vs BUDH SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the implications of Section 38-B of the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, which allows for the retrial of proceedings initiated before its enactment. The Court held that findings from proceedings prior to October 10, 1975, do not operate as res judicata due to the provisions of Section 38-B. The case was remanded for further examination of relevant judgments and circumstances surrounding the initiation of subsequent proceedings.
