Respondents. -------- Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned counsel for the State. We do not find any law point involved in this appeal. The matter stands concluded by the findings of fact to which the learned single Judge has referred in the last but one page of his judgment that petitioner no.1 had filed an affidavit that his son Arbind Kumar Singh (petitioner no.2) was born on 29.11.1967 and his other son Mukund Kumar Singh (petitioner no.3) was born on 1.4.1970. On behalf of the appellants it was suggested that 9.9.1970 is not the crucial date and the crucial date for determining units to which the family may be entitled is the 2 date of initiation of proceeding. The law is well settled that in order to claim an independent unit the claimant must be a major on 9.9.1970. In that view of the matter, we find no infirmity in the order under appeal because only point urged before us is that extra units should be allotted to the petitioners. The appeal is dismissed.
