ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 26380 OF 2003 O R D E R: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a Certiorari to call for the record relating to the order dated 19.02.2003 passed by the 2nd respondent conﬁrming the 1st respondent’s order dated 25.10.1994 made under Section 8(4) of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (for short, ‘U.L.C. Act’) and to quash the same being arbitrary and illegal. It is not disputed before this Court that by virtue of the interim order granted by this Court, the possession of the surplus land has not been taken over by the State Government. During the pendency of this writ petition, the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999 (for short, ‘Repeal Act’) has been enacted by virtue of which the U.L.C.Act was repealed. As per Section 4 of the Repeal Act, all proceedings arising under the principal Act pending immediately before the commencement of the Act shall abate where the possession of the land has not been taken over by the State Government. In the light of Section 4 of the Repeal Act and having regard to the admitted fact that the possession of the land pursuant to the impugned order has not been taken from the petitioner, the impugned proceedings stood abated. Hence, no further enquiry is necessary and the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 24.11.2011 Ivd
