Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the demarcation of surplus land under the Urban Land Ceiling Act, 1976 and the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holding Act, 1960. The Court affirmed that the appellant's transfers of surplus land were contrary to the terms of the original pattas, which prohibited such transfers. The Court held that the excess land should vest in the Government and declared all unauthorized transfers null and void, emphasizing the importance of adhering to statutory provisions regarding land use and ownership.
