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

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of surplus land under the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, specifically Section 10(2) and Section 12-A. The Court held that the State Government has the discretion not to take surplus land from transferred properties if the tenure-holder has sufficient land remaining. The appeal was allowed, reversing the lower court's decision, thereby affirming the tenure-holder's right to retain certain lands despite the surplus declaration.
