Chhedi Lal vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the prescribed authority and the appellate authority under the Uttar Pradesh Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, which declared 16.95 acres of land as surplus holding of the appellant. The Court found that the appellant's claim regarding the share of land inherited from his deceased father was not substantiated, as the authorities correctly determined the share to be 1/3rd. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the findings of the lower authorities.
