1 D.B. CIVIL SPECIAL APPEAL (WRIT) NO.842/2008 The Board of Revenue & Ors. Vs. Yagna Narain Singh & Ors. Date of Order :: May 19, 2008. HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. B.L. Awasthi, Addl.Govt.Counsel for the appellants. *** Heard Mr. B.L. Awasthi, learned counsel for the State. Delay in filing this appeal is condoned. This appeal is directed against the order dated 13.1.2006 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court allowing the writ application which was filed against an order reopening the ceiling proceeding under Section 15(2) of the Rajasthan Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1973. It appears that the ceiling proceeding was reopened by the competent authority in exercise of its power under Section 15(2) after ten years of its closure as against the statutory limitation of six years. The learned Single Judge of this Court considering the facts and circumstances of the case, held that reopening of the ceiling proceeding was improper in view of the decision rendered by a Bench of this Court in the case of Dhanraj & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan, 1995 RDD 115. It is not in dispute that the ceiling proceeding was reopened almost after ten years of its closure. The judgment delivered by a Bench of this Court in the case of Dhanraj & Ors. (supra) still holds good. In this view of the matter, the learned Single Judge of this Court was wholly justified in allowing 2 the writ application and quashing the order reopening the ceiling proceeding. For the reasons aforementioned therefore, we find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ),J. (NARAYAN ROY),CJ. Skant/-
