(1.) THIS writ Petition arises out of proceedings under the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act).
(2.) THE petitioner was a tenure-holder of certain land and a notice u/Sec. 10 (2) of the Act was served on him. He filed objections. One of the objections was that the petitioner had by a registered sale deed dated 20th March, 1972, transferred certain land in favour of Naina Kumari for a sale consideration of Rs.7000/- and the land sold should be excluded from his holding, while determining the ceiling area, applicable to him.
(3.) BEING aggrieved by the order of the Prescribed Authority and the appellate authority, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. The writ petition has been pressed only in regard to the question as to whether the transfer made under the sale-deed dated 20th March, 1972, should be ignored, or not.
