Court No. 1 Civil Writ Petition. 581 of 2001 (M/S) Shivrampul and another ……………..Peitioners. Versus State of Uttaranchal and others. ……… Respondents. Hon. P.C.Verma,J. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners challenging the notification under section 4 of the U.P. consolidation of Holdings Act. The main ground of challenge is that the consolidation of the holdings had already taken place and now there was no need to have notified the village afresh. It is settled law that after 20 years there can be reconsolidation of the holdings if the Deputy Director of consolidation is satisfied that the consolidation operation held earlier did not serve the purpose. The notification has been issued by the consolidation commissioner after being satisfied that the reconsolidation of the holdings was necessary in the larger public interest. No cogent ground has been raised in the writ petition challenging the notification duly supported with any document. The petitioner could not satisfy this court regarding the invalidity of the notification issued under the writ petition deserves to be dismissed. The writ petition is dismissed. No orders as to costs. (P.C.Verma,J.) R.P.Singh Date : 19.04.2001
