In this petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners had challenged the order passed by the Competent SCA/6962/1988 JUDGMENT Authority and Dy. Collector (ULC), Ahmedabad dated 29th July/31st August, 1998 passed under Section 8 of the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulations) Act, 1976 declaring in all 4335 sq. mts. As excess vacant land and directing to issue final statement accordingly. This Court while issuing notice on 17.10.88 stayed further implementation and operation of the impugned order and the said ad-interim relief granted by this Court came to be confirmed by the learned Single Judge of this Court on 20th July, 1990. Therefore, it appears that further proceedings pursuant to the order passed by the Competent Authority and Dy. Collector (ULC), Ahmedabad dated 29th July/31st August, 1998 are not taken and possession of the land in question has not been taken over by the State Government.
Under the circumstances, considering the provisions of Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulations) Repeal Act, 1999 (Act No.15 of 1999), present proceedings stand abated. SCA/6962/1988 JUDGMENT
Operative part
Consequently, the present Special Civil Application is disposed of as having abated in view of the provisions of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulations) Repeal Act, 1999 (Act No.15 of 1999).
Rule is made absolute to the aforesaid extent, however, there will be no order as to costs. It is however, made clear that if ultimately it is found by the Appropriate Authority that possession was already taken over by the State Government prior to 1999. It will be open for the respondents to move an appropriate application for reviewing and/or recalling this order. =kailash=
