Tibbatian Sayunkt Sahkari Krishi Samiti Ltd. Lakhanwala, Newat pargana Pachhwadoon Post Office Harbartpur, District Dehradun. ………..Respondents. Dated: 08.06.2006 Hon’ble Rajesh Tandon, J. Heard Standing Counsel for the State, Sri Arvind Vashisth and Sri Lok Pal Singh, Advocate for the respondents. By the present writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a writ of certiorari quashing the order dated 01.06.1989 passed by the Commissioner (Annexure No. 4 to the writ petition). Briefly stated, during the proceedings under U.P. Imposiiton of Ceiling of land Holdings Act were initiated, the Prescribed Authority has declared the land as surplus. The respondent went in appeal. The appellate Court has recorded a finding that the land in question, which has been declared surplus was exempted from the ceiling proceeding. The relevant findings to that effect are quoted below:- “izkjEHk esa gh ;g mYys[k djuk mi;qDr gS fd ;g vihy Lohdkj gksus ;ksX; gSA fopkj.kh; gS fd fookfnr Hkwfe lhfyax ls voeqDr Fkh vkSj mldh fcdzh rHkh gks xbZ Fkh tc ,slh voeqDr Hkwfe ds vUrj.k ij dksbZ izfrcU/k ugha FkkA ;gh ugha 22 bLVkfCy’kesUV ,oa m0iz0 ljdkj ds uke ij vUrj.k ds vk/kkj ij nkf[ky [kkfjt Hkh gks pqdk gS rFkk nks ckj iwoZ esa fcdzh gqbZ Hkwfe dks vihykFkhZ ds [kkrs ls gqvk gS tc fd lhfyax ls voeqDr Hkwfe ds vUrj.k ij la’kks/ku }kjk izfrcU/k yxk;k x;kA fcdzh gqbZ Hkwfe fdlh O;fDr fo’ks"k ds uke ij vUrfje u gks dj m0iz0 ljdkj ,oa ’kklu ds ,d laLFkku 22 bLVkfCy’kesUV ds uke ij gqbZ gSA ;fn fcdzh gqbZ Hkwfe vfrfjDr ?kksf"kr gks ldrh gS rks ,slh Hkwfe dks dz; djus dk mRrjnkf;Ro Lo;a 'kklu ij vkrk gSA vr% vius mRrjnkf;Ro ds fy;s 'kklu vihykFkhZ ds [kkrs ls Hkwfe ugh ekax ldrk vkSj ;fn okLro esa 'kklu fcdzh gqbZ Hkwfe dks vfrfjDr ?kksf"kr Hkwfe igys gh vihykFkhZ ds [kkrs ls ckgj fudy pqdh gS vr% mlds ,ot esa dksbZ vU; Hkwfe ekaxuk mi;qDr ugha gSA% In view of the findings that the surplus land having already been taken out form the land of the respondents and therefore, the appeal has rightly been allowed. I do not find any infirmity in the order so as to interfere under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition lacks merit and is dismissed. No order as to costs.
