Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition challenging the rejection of the petitioner's claims under Section 29A of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and Section 4A of the Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973. The Court held that the petitioner, being an unmarried minor daughter as of the notified date, was correctly included in the family unit for determining land ceiling limits. The Court affirmed that the father's excess land was to be surrendered as per the provisions of the Act, thereby upholding the decisions of the lower tribunals.
