RAM BAHADUR ALIAS LAXMI PRASAD Vs. COLLECTOR HAMIRPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) -Heard Sri N. B. Nigam on behalf of the petitioner and Sri S. K. Singh counsel on behalf of the respondent Nos. 5 to 17 as well as standing counsel on behalf of the respondent Nos. 1 to 4.

(2.) THIS writ petition is an example of abuse of process of the Court by a person filing successive writ petitions and obstructing the allotment of surplus land to poor persons for whose interest the U. P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act was enacted. THIS Court is deeply shocked with the manner in which successive writ petitions have been filed before this Court and interim orders obtained time and again.

(3.) ON 11th November, 1976, the appeal was allowed and the appellate authority reduced the area of surplus land to 11.2 acres in terms of irrigated land. Against the said order the petitioner filed Writ Petition No. 1025 of 1977 (First writ petition), which was allowed by this Court on 4th September, 1978 and the matter was remanded to the District Judge for reconsideration of the appeal filed by the petitioner.
