COMPETENT ATY. vs MOHANBHAI KHIMABHAI

The Supreme Court held that the proceedings initiated under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 were rendered void due to the enactment of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999, specifically under Section 4 which abates all pending proceedings. The Court quashed the earlier orders of the Competent Authority and the Urban Land Tribunal, thereby disposing of the appeal as abated without costs. The ruling clarifies the effect of the repeal on ongoing legal proceedings under the principal Act.
