Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Deputy Director Consolidation, stating that the revision application filed by minors under The Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950 was not barred by limitation due to the applicability of Section 6 of the Limitation Act, which allows minors to institute proceedings after the cessation of their minority. The Court clarified that Section 341 of the said Act incorporates the Limitation Act, thus enabling minors to file applications within the prescribed time after reaching majority. The Court found no jurisdictional error in the Deputy Director's decision, affirming the factual findings in favor of the contesting respondents.
