While passing the orders, the Government placed reliance on the judgment of the Supreme Court in S.Vasudeva v. State of Karnataka[1]. When the matter is heard today, the learned Counsel for the petitioners brought to the notice of this Court that the decision in S.Vasudeva v. State of Karnataka (supra) has been overruled by a three Bench judgment of the Supreme Court in T.R.Thandur v. Union of India[2]. This legal position is not denied by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General). Therefore, without expressing any opinion as to the right of the petitioners to seek exemption under Section 20 of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976, the impugned order is set aside, and the matter is remitted to the first respondent with a direction to dispose of the application of the petitioners for exemption, in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 04.04.2006 vs [1] (1993) 3 SCC 467 [2] (1996) 3 SCC 690
