Haribhai Lakhmanbhai Seedhav vs State Of Gujarat & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application for leave to appeal, affirming that the wives of the original declarant had no legal right, title, or interest in the land under the Gujarat Agricultural Land Ceiling Act, 1960. The Court emphasized that the Will executed by the wives did not confer any rights to the appellant, and the delay of nearly ten years in filing the appeal was a valid ground for dismissal. The ruling reinforces the principle that only legal heirs with recognized rights can transfer property rights under the Act.
