ASHARAFI DEVI (D) THR. LRS. vs STATE OF U.P. THROUGH COLLECTOR/DISTRICT MAGISTRATE

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order rejecting the review application related to a writ petition concerning surplus land under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. The Court held that the original appellant failed to challenge the main order dismissing the writ petition, thus limiting the scope of the appeal to the review order. The Court found no merit in invoking Article 142 of the Constitution to allow a challenge to the main order, as there was no legal impediment to filing a separate special leave petition against it.
