K.P. Dwivedi vs State Of U.P. And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the Uttar Pradesh Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, specifically examining the classification of land as irrigated or unirrigated under Section 4-A of the Act. The Court upheld the District Judge's findings that the appellant had a 1/10th share in the land and that certain lands classified as grove should be excluded from surplus calculations. The Court confirmed the High Court's directive for the Prescribed Authority to re-evaluate the land classifications and allow the appellant to choose which lands to surrender, thereby affirming the procedural fairness mandated by the Act.
