SMT. FIRDOSH FATIMA (SINCE DEAD) ETC. vs SMT. FIRDOSH BEGUM (DEAD) & ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Section 4 of the U.P. Amendment Act 33 of 1972, which abolishes appeals from judgments of a single High Court judge in writ jurisdiction concerning certain revenue and tenancy matters. The Court reaffirmed its earlier ruling in Hasinuddin Khan & Ors. vs. Dy. Director of Consolidation, confirming that the legislative competence to enact such provisions falls under the State List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed as the controversy was resolved by established precedent.
