SHANTABAI . vs STATE OF M.P. . — C.A. No. 5230/2010

Case Summary: C.A. No. 005230/2010 (Shantabai v. State of M.P.) The Supreme Court allowed Shantabai's appeal challenging a High Court order that had dismissed her writ petition on the ground that contentions were raised belatedly. The case involved a challenge to orders under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. The Supreme Court held that the High Court should have considered the appellants' substantive contentions and noted that the Act's repeal in Madhya Pradesh and the question of actual possession at the time of repeal were relevant. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for fresh consideration in accordance with law (July 9, 2010).
