Petitioner is the land-holder against whom Ceiling Case No. 65/1973-74 was initiated in which he was allowed two units by the Collector under the Act as there were only two adults in the family on 09.09.1970. The matter was agitated in appeal and revision which was dismissed whereafter matter came to this Court and the Hon’ble Supreme Court but the findings recorded by the Collector under the Act that petitioner was entitled to two units was not interfered with. By filing Misc. Case No. 01/2002 petitioner requested the Hon’ble Minister to issue directions for reopening of the ceiling case initiated against him as his grand sons have not been given any unit by the authorities under the Act. Aforesaid request has been rejected by the Hon’ble Minister under the impugned order dated 20.07.2007, Annexure-8 with reference to the earlier orders passed by the Collector under the Act, appellate, revisional authority, this Court and the Hon’ble Supreme Court, whereunder petitioner was allowed two units as there were only two adults in his family on 09.09.1970. - 2 - Matter having been considered not only by the authorities under the Act but by this Court and the Hon’ble Supreme Court, Hon’ble Minister rightly did not reopen the matter and rejected the request of the petitioner to reopen the same under the impugned order dated 20.07.2007, Annexure-8. I do not see any illegality in the order impugned i.e. order dated 20.07.2007 passed in Misc. Case No. 01/2002 and the writ application is dismissed with direction to the Collector under the Act to distribute the lands in-question to the landless forthwith. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha, J.)
