IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WPMS No. 305 of 2007 State of Uttarakhand ………….Petitioner. Versus Smt. Indu Pandy and others. ……………..Respondents. Mr. H.M. Raturi, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. B.P. Nautiyal, learned counsel for the respondent no. 1. None appears for the petitioner as well as for respondent no. 2. 21st August, 2008 Hon’ble Mr. P.C. Verma, J. By means of present writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 28.10.2006 passed by the District Judge, Dehradun. 2. Since the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 has been repealed, I find no merit in the writ petition. The matter is covered by the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Pt. Madan Swaroop Shrotiya Public Charitable Trust versus State of U.P. and others reported in (2000) 6 Supreme Court Cases, 325. In the said case law the Apex Court has abated the proceedings under Section 4 of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. The repealing Act has come into force in the State of U.P. with effect from 18.03.1999. The court below has also dealt with the same Act, therefore, I do not find any infirmity or illegality in the order dated 28.10.2006 passed by the District Judge, Dehradun. 3. In view of the aforesaid case law, the writ petition is dismissed as abated. No order as to costs. (P.C. Verma, J.) 21.8.2008 Rathour
