Collector and Competent Authority, Pune Urban Agglomeration, & Anr. ...Respondents. Mr. Shriram S. Kulkarni for the Petitioners. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, JJ. DATE: APRIL 8, 2009 P.C.:- Appeal against order under Section 8(4) of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 filed by the petitioners was pending when the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999 came into force in Maharashtra. Therefore, the petitioners contend that their appeal cannot be decided, and the respondents should be restrained from taking any further steps for taking over the possession of the land under the repeal Act. 2. This question has already been considered by this Court, and following the judgment of a Division Bench in Writ Petition No. 8356 of 2 2006 (Voltas Ltd. & Anr. v. Additional Collector and Competent Authority & Ors.) decided on 25th July, 2008, we allow the Writ Petition, and direct that no further action be taken against the land-owners under the repeal Act, as, even according to the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, which is taken on record, possession from the land-owners has not been taken.
