Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Financial Commissioner regarding the distribution of surplus land under Khasra Nos. 178 and 189 in Ballabhgarh, affirming that these lands should be included in the permissible area of the landowner under the Haryana Ceiling on Land Holding Act, 1972. The Court found that the claim of the heirs of Jawahar Singh for allotment of land was not tenable and rejected it, emphasizing the need for fair opportunity to all claimants. The ruling confirmed that the surplus land would be allotted to the 307 allottees, thereby resolving the dispute over land claims.
