MUNSHI LAL (DEAD) BY LRS. vs DIST. JUDGE, ALIGARH

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the order of the Appellate Authority under the Urban Land Ceiling Act, noting that the Act had been repealed by the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. The Court clarified that Section 4 of the Repeal Act, which abates proceedings, was inapplicable as no proceedings were pending at the time of the repeal. Consequently, the Court found no infirmity in the impugned order and dismissed the appeal without costs.
