CHAMAN LAL ALIAS CHUNNI LAL Vs. STATE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition prays for a mandamus directing the respondents-consolidation authorities not to proceed with the consolidation operations in the village in question.

(2.) THE aforesaid prayer is founded on the allegation that the consolidation operations would be against the interest of the tenure holders as 80% area of the village is covered by stones and hills which would make the consolidation operations practically impossible. The area is also full of drainage and riverbeds and a single crop is available to the farmers, therefore, a desire was expressed for not proceeding with the consolidation operations.

(3.) ONCE such a notification was issued the consolidation operations have to be set into motion. The power to denotify or cancel a notification vests in the State Government under Section 6 of the U.P. Consolidation and Land Holdings Act. The same is quoted hereinbelow:
