1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR S.B. C.W. Pet. No. 39/1998 (Santosh Kanwar & Ors. Vs. State & Ors.) Date of order : 22.2.2010 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.M.SAPRE Mr. S.D.Vyas, for the petitioner. <><><> By filing this writ petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner (land owner) has challenged the appellate order dated. 15.7.1997 passed by the appellate authority (Commissioner, Bikaner) passed in Appeal No. 6/1996 along with connected appeals Annexure-6. 2. Admittedly the proceedings out of which this writ petition arises including the appellate order of the appellate authority, is under the provisions of Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 which has since been repealed by the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. In these circumstances, all proceedings pending on the date of repeal stood abated. Indeed this is legal effect provided under the repealed Act and unless exceptions are pointed out for its survival, the proceedings would abate. Such does not appear to be a case so far as facts of this case are concerned because it has not been brought to my notice by learned counsel for the parties. 3. Accordingly and in view of the aforesaid discussion, I do not wish to go into merits and demerits of the controversy except to hold that the proceedings out of which this writ petition arises 2 so also this writ petition have stood abated consequent upon the repealing of the parent Act viz. Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. The petition, therefore, fails and is hereby dismissed as having been abated. No cost. (A.M.SAPRE ),J. /Sushil/
