Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the notice issued under Section 5 of the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960. The Court clarified that the sale of land to a minor daughter is invalid under the Act as the father cannot sell land to himself, and the land remains part of his holding. Additionally, the transfer of land to a private temple after the appointed day was deemed invalid, thus included in the appellant's holding, affirming the District Judge's findings.
