KISHAN LAL vs STATE OF M.P. .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976, affirming that the appeal was barred by time as per Section 33 of the Act. The Court noted the enactment of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999, which was adopted by Madhya Pradesh, but clarified that the repeal does not affect the vesting of land if possession has been taken by the State. The Court concluded that the appellant's claim regarding possession was not substantiated, thus affirming the lower court's decision.
