THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.25349 OF 1996 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the proceedings of the 1st respondent dated 17.3.1992, whereunder the petitioner was served with a notice dated 22.2.1992 under Section 8(3) of the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976 (for short “the Act”), calling upon the petitioner to submit his objections to the draft statement. It is to be noted that the writ petition was filed on 18.11.1996. From the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is clear that since the petitioner failed to file any objections to the draft statement, the same was confirmed vide proceedings dated 30.5.1992. In the meanwhile, the petitioner and his wife filed a petition for exemption under Section 20(1) of the Act claiming that the land in question is an agricultural land. The said request was rejected by order dated 27.11.1993. Thereafter, final statement under Section 9 of the Act was issued on 30.5.1992 and notification under Section 10 of the Act was published in the Gazette on 29.10.1992. A declaration under Section 10(3) of the Act was also published on 24.2.1994. Thereafter, possession of the surplus land was taken on 26.7.1996. The petitioner neither filed any affidavit in reply, nor any other material is placed before this Court disputing the version of the respondents. Obviously the writ petition was filed on 18.11.1996 after taking possession of the surplus land. In view of the stand taken by the respondents in their counter- affidavit, which stood unrebutted, nothing survives for adjudication in the matter and the writ petition is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 26th September, 2006. Furnish CC in three days. THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.25349 OF 1996 26th September, 2006.
