Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gujarat High Court, affirming that the State's possession of land under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 was valid. The court found that the appellants had no legitimate grievance as the government followed the prescribed procedures for taking possession. Consequently, the court ruled against the appellants' claim for mutation of the land in their favor.
