Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the application for deletion of certain respondents in a writ petition concerning the transfer of land under the Meghalaya Transfer of Land (Regulation) Act, 1971. The Court clarified that there were no pending proceedings regarding the alleged violation of the Act before it, thus enabling the Guahati High Court to proceed with the writ petition. The appeal was disposed of without costs.
