DHANIBEN SHANTILAL PATEL Vs. STATE OF GUJARAT

Decided On October 03, 2012
DHANIBEN SHANTILAL PATEL Appellant
V/S
STATE OF GUJARAT Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner has challenged an order dated 18.02.2000 passed by the Special Secretary (Appeals), Revenue Department, Government of Gujarat.

(2.) BRIEF facts may be noted at the outset:

(3.) ON the other hand, learned AGP Ms. Pathak and learned advocate, Mr. Majmudar for the respective respondents opposed the petition contending that the order passed by the Special Secretary suffered from no infirmity. It was contended that the question of status of a person as agriculturist would go to the root of the matter. If the sale transaction was hit by section 63 of the Act the same would be nulity. They relied on certain decisions of this Court to contend that the order of the Special Secretary may not be quashed in view of the ground of delay.
