Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's objections regarding the sale of agricultural land under Section 279 of the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Court found that proper notice of the sale was given, and the appellant failed to object within the stipulated time. It was held that even if the purchaser's holding exceeded the limit prescribed under Section 154(1) of the Act, it was a matter for the Gaon Sabha to address, affirming the High Court's decision.
